[color=#3f3f3f][font=Verdana, 宋体, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=12px]The ever so-[b]beloved[/b] West End[b]musical[/b] Mamma Mia! has finally been taken from the [b]stage[/b] to the [b]silver screen[/b].
[p=21, 2, left]The international premiere of the film was held at the Odeon Leicester Square in central London, 30 June 2008.[/p][p=21, 2, left]The film is a musical based on the[b]legendary[/b] Swedish pop band ABBA’s songs and it is the film [b]adaptation[/b] of the musical of the same name.[/p][p=21, 2, left]Mamma Mia! uses the music of ABBA to tell the story of Sophie Sheridan, a 21-year-old American [b]bride-to-be[/b], trying to find out the [b]identity[/b] of her real father so that he can [b]give her away[/b] at the wedding.[/p][p=21, 2, left]Since the premiere of the musical in London in 1999, over 30 million people have seen Mamma Mia! around the world and the theatre production has [b]grossed[/b] $2bn (15bn yuan) in earnings.[/p][p=21, 2, left]Although the title of the musical is taken from ABBA’s 1975 [b]chart-topper[/b]Mamma Mia, neither the musical’s nor the film’s [b]plot[/b] has anything to do with the story of the group itself.[/p][p=21, 2, left]The band ABBA was the winner of the 1974 [b]Eurovision Song Contest[/b] and following that success their songs topped the charts worldwide until the early 1980s. The name ABBA is an [b]acronym[/b] formed from the first letters of the group member’s first names.[/p][p=21, 2, left]After a week of [b]exclusive showing[/b] in the Leicester Square Odeon, one of London’s most famous cinemas, the film will be on in all cinemas across the country from 10 July.[/p][p=21, 2, left]Some people say maybe it is the mature [b]A-list cast[/b] that makes the film work so well. Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgard star as the three [b]potential[/b] dads with the Oscar winner Meryl Streep starring as the mum of the bride-to-be.[/p][p=21, 2, left]A film [b]critic[/b] said the film is truly wonderful. It is sharp, [b]hilarious[/b] and very beautifully [b]shot[/b].[/p][p=21, 2, left]If you are a fan of ABBA, a fan of the musical, or simply just a fan of Pierce Brosnan, then the film Mamma Mia!is a must.[/p]
