Meryl Streep on Being Uplifted by Mamma Mia!
- It was seven years ago and Streep "was in a bit of a pickle," Jeffries writes. "She had to dream up an excursion for some friends of Louisa, the youngest of her four children by husband Don Gummer, the sculptor to whom she has been married for the past 30 years. Only one problem: it was October 2001 in Manhattan.
"'Everybody was really dimmed spiritually after 9/11,' Streep relates. 'I thought, 'What am I going to do with the kids?' So I took all these 10-year-olds to see a matinee of Mamma Mia!. They walked in and they sat there with their heads in their hands. Dimmed is the word. They were sad all the time, you know?
"'The first part was really wordy, and then 'Dancing Queen' started up. And for the rest of the show they were dancing on their chairs and they were so, so happy. We all went out of the theatre floating on the air. I thought, 'What a gift to New York right now!' She sent a thank you letter to the cast."

Mamma Mia - The Music
The Music of Mamma Mia, which is the music of ABBA has an infectious quality that gets under your skin and has you humming the tunes soon after hearing them. (I have been hearing Mamma Mia almost continuously in my head since working on this lens.)ABBA, a foursome from Sweden, topped the charts worldwide from the mid-1970s to the early 1980's, releasing hit after catchy hit, each one instantly recognizable, infectious, and irresistible.
Nearly a quarter of a century later, these memorable songs gave birth to the blockbuster musical MAMMA MIA!

Mamma Mia the Musical on Wikipedia
Mamma Mia! is a jukebox musical with a book by British playwright Catherine Johnson, based on the songs of ABBA, composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. It was an early example of the jukebox musical genre and helped to popularize the form. Although the title of the musical is taken from the group's 1975 chart-topper Mamma Mia, the plot is fictional, not biographical.
Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, who composed the original music for ABBA, were involved in the development of the show from the beginning. Anni-Frid Lyngstad has been involved financially in the production, while Agnetha Fältskog has not, though she was present at the Swedish premiere and final show.
The musical includes such hits as "Super Trouper", "Dancing Queen", "Knowing Me, Knowing You", "Take A Chance On Me...
