Skip The Rest! This Is The Mamma Mia Offering You Want.

"What separates this Mamma Mia offering from all the others are the following:
1. I found the sound quality of the songs to be better on this CD than on other Mamma Mia CD's that don't have the three finale songs.
2. This CD has the three finale songs included: (Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, and Waterloo). Another CD may have the three finale songs included, but it doesn't have the DVD.
3. This offering has a DVD included. Included on the DVD is the history of the making of Mamma Mia (approximately 15 minutes). It also shows song numbers being performed in other countries in various languages. The DVD also shows the two main Broadway performers telling of their experiences in the play. The two remaining parts of the DVD show the songs Money Money Money and Dancing Queen performed as they appeared when the play first opened in London. If you want one Mamma Mia offering this is the one to get. Even if you already have one I would definitely include this one in your collection as well. I've ordered several of these copies (I'd be embarrassed to say how many) and plan on ordering another batch for members of my music class in grades 4-8 as a gift. Treat yourself! It's worth it."

"CD/DVD are OK but the DVD is only a compilation of a few moments on the Mamma Mia, I expected the complete DVD from the actual performance.I'm rather disappointed."
A Stiff Price, But Worth It

"If you are going to get a CD of the Mamma Mia musical this is the one to buy. I know the price is stiff, but, at least to me, it is worth it. I have played it several times and never get tired of it. In addition, it includes an encore rendition of the songs Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, and an initial rendition of Waterloo. You can buy cheaper CD's of the Mamma Mia musical, but these ABBA songs are worth paying a little more to get the best version that is available for sale."
Disappointed

"The CD is great, but the DVD would not play correctly. It kept sticking on one spot, no way to advance scenes, etc. Have not had that problem with any other DVDs on my player. Very disappointed."
