Will you guys be able to release spoilers nearer the time or no spoilers at all? I'm curious how Lily James is as Young Donna or if they are any niggles.

I somehow feel like this is a film that's going to sell tickets to the people it's going to sell tickets to whether it's any good according to the critics or not.

Well I booked weeks ago, thinking I should see what all the fuss was about. I'll just have to grit my teeth when certain people appear, but I've got a heavy film to start the day (Apostasy); a free matinee slot for I don't yet know what, and this in the early evening, which I hope will round the day off on a cheerful note - as long as I don't join in with the singing, but I think singalong performances will be a way off yet.

New clip on You Tube - Angel Eyes! Well Amanda, Christine and Julie all look and sound great! But then it does cut to the trailer and I can't help but feel like screaming "MERYL!!". Oh, and I spot Ms. Philippa Stefani! |

Pierce Brosnon does sing, but not a whole song like last time. In fact non of there three Dad's sing as much as last time.
The movie ends. The credits roll. But before the cinema light turn on, stick around for the extra 20 seconds.

Is this movie better than the original? By now I didn't like so much the trailers. I'm a big fan of the first film and of the stage show.
Regards.

Don't know if it's better- that's a matter of personal opinion- however it holds its own and is equal to the original.

Dare I ask the question how much do we get of the reason we are all going: Meryl and Cher?

Speak for yourself - I'm going for Christine Baranski, Julie Walters and Amanda Seyfried, and to stare lustfully at Dominic Cooper whenever he's on screen... Meryl is the reason for going to see anything of course, but I'm not getting my hopes up for her being in much of this. I'm not a fan of Cher at all, so the less she's in it, the better as far as I'm concerned! |

I wonder how long it is before the stage version is running in rep alongside the original, with marathon days on Saturday.

The soundtrack gets released this Friday. I will definitely be getting it. I just wish they would release more of the songs, even just small snippets would be great.

Doing Mama Mia 2 on the stage would give the show another decade or so. Could work.

I'm certainly not part of that 'we', if anything Cher puts me off she looks so out of place and Meryl I don't mind but I don't get the fuss over her singing. For me it's great music and a cheesy and fun couple of hours escapism Considering the track record of musical sequels on stage I'm not so sure this will end up on stage. It will be interesting to see how the box office for the movie compares to the first one |
