Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia!
January 11, 2007 Comments
To the delight of fans of musical theatre and ABBA, which I assume share largely the same audience, the stage musical Mamma Mia! will soon be headed to the screen with Meryl Streep in the role of the mamma (mia). The musical combines the story of a Greek wedding, the '70s pop music of ABBA, and general poor taste in entertainment into something that has everyone asking: "Why would I ever intentionally hear Dancing Queen outside of a wedding?" Yet, somehow, Streep will win an Oscar for this.
