Well "One Of Us" and "Knowing Me, Knowing You" are already in Mamma Mia! Not the film! In additon The Name of the Game, Under Attack and Thank You For The Music all appear in the sage show but were cut from the film, with Thank You For The Music appearing in the end credits. When All Is Said And Done that is not in the stage show was added for the film. |

Every drama lecturer in the country would turn themself inside out to tell you that it didn't matter! It's about the journey not the reveal...

Am I the only one who always just assumed Sam was the Dad? Probably. The musical/film made it perfectly clear that she never really had a damn clue who was responsible for setting the entire plot in motion. Sam was her "real love" though, which is why (apart from the fact one of the other potentials was copping off with Julie Walters and the other was gay) she Donna ended up with him. Real love or "sod it, that'll do", who knows. What's the betting that the ending actually isn't that Sophie is pregnant with Sky's kid, but actually Pepper's..? Or maybe she doesn't know.. which will cue the next sequel in 20 years time with Donna Jr (Sophie's daughter) has a summer holiday in Brighton (during which they time travel to 1974 and come back via Waterloo) and, well, continues the cycle. Even as someone who enjoyed the first film - this sequel is jumping the shark, so the plot may as well match it. |

Those pictures actually look like great fun! Nice idea to have their younger versions doing some scenes.

This morning, Benny Andersson confirmed 3 songs that are definitely in the new film.
Angel Eyes, I Wonder, When I Kissed The Teacher.
I know the first 2, never heard of When I Kissed The Teacher.

On a separate point when Benny was on the One Show last night publicising his Piano album out on Friday he mentioned the new film is a prequel and sequel in that it covers pre Mamma Mia ,hence the young characters and also post Mamma Mia hence the existing cast from the original film.

Thanks for the heads up on the new album. Got very excited until I heard a few extracts on Youtube... Stripped bare like that, they really don't appeal to me, I'm afraid. All super tunes (I love his Story of a Heart CD) but for me it's the arrangements and production that make them.

Yes I know what you mean , you cannot beat the original arrangement and production but I guess some may enjoy the stripped back nature.

I hope they use some of the earlier, less remembered songs and breathe new life into them

Cassandra, Dum Dum Diddle, Head Over Heels So Long, Why Did It Have To Be Me?, Like An Angel Passing Through My Room, He Is Your Brother, Elaine, Happy Hawaii to name but a few Oh yes to all of the above. I’d love a bit of ‘I’ve Been Waiting For You’ in there...and ‘As Good As New’. I could go on, but mustn’t! |

Cassandra, Dum Dum Diddle, Head Over Heels So Long, Why Did It Have To Be Me?, Like An Angel Passing Through My Room, He Is Your Brother, Elaine, Happy Hawaii to name but a few Oh, I adore that track. The way the tick tock ticks all the way through... (There’s a beautiful version by Sissel too. We played it at my grandmother’s funeral as the lyrics seemed so apt.  ) |

My absolute favourite Abba Track - so subtle yet so intricate.

Another ABBA favourite marriage of lyrics and simple melody:
You and I can share the silence
Finding comfort together
The way old friends do
And after fights and words of violence
We make up with each other
The way old friends do
Times of joy and times of sorrow
We will always see it through
Oh I don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together
The way old friends do
I really hope this makes it into the film somewhere.
And then there’s Arrival. Sarah Brightman recorded a vocal version of this for her album A Winter Symphony, with previously unused lyrics from Björn Ulvaeus, which he is supposed to have written for possible inclusion in the Mamma Mia! musical. Her version is upbeat but the original is a stunning piece, I think.
