The best time to see Mamma Mia! was immediately following the Oregon Mennonite Festival for World Relief (or the MCC Relief Sale, for those familiar with that name), where C and I have helped to run the used books booth for over 15 years now. This wasn't ideal, since we also help clean up after the sale, and would make for a long day.
Still, it meant we were already in Albany, so it saved a trip. After the traditional Burgerville wrap-up meal, we hit one of the downtown tap rooms for a quick flight. (They don't brew their own, so not an additional pub.)
Mamma Mia! was zany fun, full of Abba music and Greek isle frivolity. The talented local Duddlesten family filled out five of the lead roles, including the new live-in boyfriend. With a "cast of thousands," as C likes to say, there were alsoa number of other theater friends in minor roles. Good times, but now that I've finally seen Mamma Mia!, I think I'm good for awhile.
