Mom's the Word: A Moscow Musical Mishap
Mamma Mia Falls Flat in Moscow - A Disappointing Experience
summarizeEditor's Summary
I caught the Moscow production of 'Mamma Mia!' and was left underwhelmed. The show's organization was top-notch, with talented actors delivering solid performances. But the musical's lack of originality and creativity made it feel stale and unoriginal. The same old themes and ideas kept coming back, making it a chore to sit through. Despite its huge popularity, 'Mamma Mia!' felt like a major disappointment.
