    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px&quot;&gt;Are you thinking about going to see a Broadway show? If your answer is “yes” and you have the opportunity to venture to this famous strip in New York, I recommend experiencing &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mamma-mia.com/default.asp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Mamma Mia!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-730&quot; height=&quot;238&quot; src=&quot;http://nycpocket.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mamma-mia-on-broadway-in-new-york-city-2.jpg&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; style=&quot;border-right: black 2px solid; border-top: black 2px solid; border-left: black 2px solid; border-bottom: black 2px solid&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px&quot;&gt;After falling in love with the film version last year, I couldn’t wait to see the Broadway production of Mamma Mia!, where I expected it to be far superior—the usual case with live performances. Last week I finally had the opportunity to go and I didn’t reject it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px&quot;&gt;As soon as you walk into the Winter Garden Theatre on 50th Street and Broadway, the happy-go-lucky mood embraces you: ambient songs, décor, and lighting make you feel like a part of the show before it even starts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px&quot;&gt;The curtain goes up, the stage lights brighten, the famous &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.abbasite.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ABBA&lt;/a&gt; song, “Dancing Queen” is cued, and the action begins. On the eve of her wedding, Sophie strives to uncover the identity of her father, bringing three possible men from her mother’s past to the gorgeous Greek island. What ensues, is an indulgence to ABBA’s classic songs, played in each scene. Some of my favorites were “Honey, Honey,” “Chiquitita,” “Super Trouper,” “Take a Chance on Me,” “Our Last Summer,” “Money, Money, Money,” and “I Have a Dream,” all of which contextualized the plot!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px&quot;&gt;The actors and actresses spectacular singing voices make Mamma Mia! a star production. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mamma-mia.com/broadway/cast_ALYSEALANLOUIS.asp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Alyse Alan Louis&lt;/a&gt;, who plays the endearing Sophie, has a sweet and brilliant voice, which easily complements the rest of the cast.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16px&quot;&gt;Mamma Mia! is a spectacular musical where you won’t be able to stop moving your body! The fun is guaranteed!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
