Mamma Mia! Tickets and Mamma Mia Review for Minneapolis

The Mamma Mia! Broadway musical tour was in Minneapolis in March and I went with my oldest sister and my Mom. Bobbie and I bought the Mamma Mia! tickets for ourselves and our Mom as her Christmas gift. When the much anticipated day arrived, we met at my Mom's place in downtown Minneapolis for a glass of vino before heading out to a fun dinner at Palomino's restaurant. After eating, drinking, and being merry, we walked across the street to see Mamma Mia! at the Orpheum Theatre.

I absolutely LOVED the movie version of Mamma Mia! and was a little nervous that I wouldn't like the stage version as much, since sometimes there are a lot of differences on the stage because of the limitations that don't a apply to a movie set. However, I was NOT disappointed! The music was a blast, the set simple and yet completely worked and the actors were magnificent; both witty in their humor as well as wonderful singers! I laughed, I teared up a little, and I laughed some more!

The funniest scene was when the bachelor party was starting, and the groom's friends were going to be taking him away. The men came out with wet suits on and neon flippers and masks/snorkeling gear and did a hilarious dance. The actors were just a riot, hamming it up and not afraid to look like fools. I would love to watch that scene over and over again!

I definitely give Mamma Mia! two thumbs up, five stars, my stamp of approval...I think you get the point, if you ever get the chance to see Mamma Mia! scoop up the opportunity!

Money Money Money lyrics

I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind
Ain't it sad
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
That's too bad
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

It's a rich man's world

Circle of Life lyrics

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

"For Good" lyrics

(Elphaba):
I'm limited
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
For both of us - now it's up to you...

(Glinda):
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

(Elphaba):
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you

(Glinda):
Because I knew you

(Both):
I have been changed for good

(Elphaba):
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for

(Glinda):
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share

(Both):
And none of it seems to matter anymore

(Glinda):
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood

(Elphaba):
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood

(Both):
Who can say if I've been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better

(Glinda):
And because I knew you...

(Elphaba):
Because I knew you...

(Both):
Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good...

The musical Chicago is based on a play by the same name from 1926 written by a reporter named Maurine Dallas Watkins. Watkins wrote the play about actual crimes she had reported on. The story follows Velma Kelly, a vaudevillian, and Roxie Hart, who dreams of being famous. Velma kills her husband and sister when she finds them in bed together and goes to jail. Roxie kills murders her lover. The term "celebrity criminal" is what ensues when lawyer Billy Flynn changes the 'storyline' and gets Velma, and later, Roxie into the newspaper headlines after he "Razzle Dazzle"'s the press and community.

The Broadway rendition of the play opened in 1975, after many years of asking Watkins for the rights to make the play a musical. As Watkins had grown older, she became a born-again Christian and thought the play glamorized the style of living that the play portrays. After Watkins passed away in 1969, the rights were sold to Richard Fryer, Gwen Verdon and Bob Fosse. John Kander wrote the music for the Broadway version and Fred Ebb wrote the lyrics.

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has played Roxie Hart in the London production, and I believe she reprised her role as Roxie for the Chicago production. In past productions, such names as Jerry Springer and David Hasselhoff have played Billy Flynn.

In 2002, Chicago was made into a major motion picture with a star cast: Renee Zellweger, Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Queen Latifah and John C Reilly. I have never seen the musical, but I have seen the movie, and LOVE IT! The songs are very fun to listen to, and the story is very intriguing-done in a vaudeville way. I am a huge fan of musicals-so it doesn't surprise me that I liked this movie. The movie is filmed in a old-fashioned movie way, here it's basically like watching it on a stage. I would see Chicago the musical in a heart beat if it came to a city near me! If you're a big fan (or small fan) of musicals, you should definitely put Chicago on your MUST SEE Musical list!

Razzle Dazzle lyrics

BAILIFF(Spoken)
Mr. Flynn, his honor is here

BILLY(Spoken)
Thank you. Just a moment.
You ready?

ROXIE(Spoken)
Oh Billy, I'm scared.

BILLY(Spoken)
Roxie, you got nothing to worry about.
It's all a circus, kid. A three ring circus.
These trials- the wholeworld- all show business.
But kid, you're working with a star, the biggest!

(Singing)
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle Dazzle 'em
Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it
And the reaction will be passionate
Give 'em the old hocus pocus
Bead and feather 'em
How can they see with sequins in their eyes?

What if your hinges all are rusting?
What if, in fact, you're just disgusting?

Razzle dazzle 'em
And they;ll never catch wise!

Give 'em the old Razzle Dazzle

BILLY AND COMPANY
Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em a show that's so splendiferous

BILLY
Row after row will crow vociferous

BILLY AND COMPANY
Give 'em the old flim flam flummox
Fool and fracture 'em

BILLY
How can they hear the truth above the roar?

BILLY AND COMPANY
Throw 'em a fake and a finagle
They'll never know you're just a bagel,

BILLY
Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll beg you for more!

BILLY AND COMPANY
Give 'em the old double whammy
Daze and dizzy 'em
Back since the days of old Methuselah
Everyone loves the big bambooz-a-ler

Give 'em the old three ring circus
Stun and stagger 'em
When you're in trouble, go into your dance

Though you are stiffer than a girder
They'll let you get away with murder
Razzle dazzle 'em
And you've got a romance

COMPANY(The same time as BILLY's)
Give 'em the old
Razzle Dazzle

BILLY
Give 'em the old Razzle Dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Show 'em the first rate sorceror you are
Long as you keep 'em way off balance
How can they spot you've got no talent
Razzle Dazzle 'em

BILLY AND COMPANY
Razzle Dazzle 'em
Razzle Dazzle 'em

And they'll make you a star!

Superstar lyrics:

VOICE OF JUDAS Every time I look at you I don't understand Why you let the things you did get so out of hand. You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned. Why'd you choose such a backward time in such a strange land? If you'd come today you could have reached a whole nation. Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication. Don't you get me wrong. I only want to know. CHOIR Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Who are you? What have you sacrificed? Jesus Christ Superstar, Do you think you're what they say you are? VOICE OF JUDAS Tell me what you think about your friends at the top. Who'd you think besides yourself's the pick of the crop? Buddha, was he where it's at? Is he where you are? Could Mohammed move a mountain, or was that just PR? Did you mean to die like that? Was that a mistake, or Did you know your messy death would be a record breaker? Don't you get me wrong. I only want to know. CHOIR Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Who are you? What have you sacrificed? Jesus Christ Superstar, Do you think you're what they say you are? (Repeat many times)
