Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Put together by Abba's own Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! manages to cram over 20 of the Swedish supergroup's songs into a threadbare plot. It goes a little like this: Young Sophie is getting married and she's trying to identify which of three men is her father. That's about it. Wisely, the musical doesn't mess around with the songs, save for the insertion of some dialogue or for having some of them performed by a man (it works amazingly well). Abba fans will jump on this import of the London production, but traditional fans of musical theater should consider it as well. After all, Andersson and Ulvaeus's songs have always felt as if they were more than isolated pop gems and actually belonged to a longer narrative. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

IT IS A WONDERFUL SOUND TRACK. I SAW THE MOVIE AND THE C.D. REMINDS ME OF THE SCENES IN THE MOVIE. EXCELLENT!!!

I have seen the movie and highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys light hearted musicals. UNFORTUNATELY, I have yet to see or receive the DVD that I ordered on 7/20/08.

If you love abba, you've got to own this soundtrack. It is a london production though, so the accent in the spoken parts bothers me a bit. Still, a great CD.

Hands down-this CD doesn't disappoint. You know what you are getting, if you have seen the musical-but if you haven't-it's still a great purchase. Great music, great cast, just good music. I have seen the musical on broadway and am addicted to it.

This is really a great CD. I really wasn't an ABBA fan when they were popular, but now I love this music. I've seen the play and the movie. A good CD to "move your butt" to!
