Critic Reviews
The Stage
Oct 5, 2012
At its heart it remains an irresistible show, full of punchy and hilariously choreographed production numbers (courtesy Anthony van Laast), that is full of heart. The show treads a fine line between cheeky cheesiness and sincerity, but the cast must provide the latter or the former collapses, too. As the mother and daughter at the centre of its story, Helen Hobson and Charlotte Wakefield anchor it with both. Hobson lends mother Donna a tough, gritty heart, nowhere more so than in the anguished feeling she brings to The Winner Takes It All. Wakefield, who made her West End debut on this same stage in Spring Awakening, is radiantly lovely as daughter Sophie, whose attempt to discover her father’s identity drives her to a bigger discovery of her own.

But what is it that makes the show so appealing? Well, quite apart from having some of the finest pop songs ever written, Mamma Mia! is the ultimate feel-good tale of love conquering all. It is completely uncynical and consistently compelling – it's the perfect show for someone who says they don't like theatre, or who "doesn't do musicals".

Superb production, with tremendous singing, dancing and acting. I saw this 15 years ago, but this show was funnier, slicker and the whole cast were even better than previously. My grand-daughters loved every minute, and want to go again!!

First show I’ve seen in theaters and it was brilliant, funny, and they got the crowd up at the end would definitely recommend to a friend or family member.

enjoyed the performance but I have to say I found the management of the theatre a bit over the top on some matters and not enough on others. it felt to me like we were watched all the time about not using phones, but to ask customers to switch off mobile phones is exaggerating - you can ask people to be polite and turn the volume down, but they have no right to ask to switch it off, what if I have an infant/children at home ?!?! On the other hand they say that no one was permitted to join after the show had started but we were disturbed mid 2nd songs in the show by latecomers in our row and in the one in front of us.

This is the third time we have seen the show and really enjoyed it the last two times. Unfortunately this time was not so great swearing from the cast members is not really what I was expecting as part of the show. Also, unfortunately, I don’t think Sophie‘s voice is as good as your past, cast members very squeaky, and overall the whole performance was extremely loud so much louder than we’ve had before. I hope she is replaced as the rest of the cast were brilliant.

We were super excited to see the show. When we found out we were coming to London, the first thing we did was buy tickets to watch Mama Mia. However, despite the musical being spectacular, we were super frustrated. The place does not have a "partial view" as advertised on the theater map, but rather NO VISIBILITY AT ALL. The seat was in the balcony, in a super high place, higher than the stage, that is, we saw the theater from a very high angle. We had already bought cheaper tickets with a partial view at other theaters, but we had never had an experience like this of practically just listening to the show and having to lean forward a lot to see an actor. We really regret not having had the opportunity to see Mamma Mia in its entirety.

I have seen Mama Mia twice over the years, but this current performance out shines them all. Such exciting and athletic dance routines and the cast is the best yet. Had a truly memorable afternoon with my granddaughter. And getting the Tuk Tuk back to London Bridge to catch the last train home at 6.06 (train strike)was the best decision ever. To see the crowds response to belting out Mama Mia songs was a real tonic-so many smiles and waves. Thankyou all.

seen it four times now. Never lets you down. This was the first when we were asked not to sing along. Sorry about that. The encore was as fantastic as ever. Everyone came out with a silly grin on their faces. A wonderful lift me up.

The show is really good - it's hard to try not sing along. The cast are fantastic & Mazz Murray singing 'The Winner Takes It All' is just outstanding! The staff at the Novello are so polite & helpful. Having rocked up to the Novello on crutches and a boot for an ankle injury, they helped assist to get in all the way to the theatre seat, checking up that all was o.k. & if we needed assistance during the interval. They made the experience fantastic.
