Mamma Mia!

As I told you yesterday, I went to Oslo last night to watch the musical Mamma Mia.
It was SUPERB!!! I can't describe how good it was - I was blown away!!! The norwegian actors were absolutely marvelous on stage, the orchestra splendid, the scenes and the lights, and the costums - I'm out of words, everything was exellent! I had a blast!!! And when the show was over, I just wanted to see it one more time - right away! I'm a even bigger fan than ever!
