Mamma Mia! At the Cabaret is a HUGE Hit!
“Brilliant!” – Howard Ross
It was an extremely exciting, sold-out audience at the Opening Night show of Mamma Mia! at the Cabaret. Everyone was truly thrilled and grateful to be back at the Starlight Cabaret after the 30-day shutdown. Tears were flowing, laughter was abundant, and there was much singing and dancing (in place)! The new Mamma Mia! show is a definite hit in Puerto Vallarta, and Act2PV is grateful for all those who showed up to celebrate the opening of this amazing production.
We all know the story… Girl meets three boys, Girl has a baby and is not sure who the baby daddy is. But you have never seen the story told like this. Director Alfonso Lopez was given a few challenges: cut the show down to 90 min, cut the cast by 10 people, and MAKE IT BETTER! Alfonso did all three in the most creative and brilliant way.
He and Act2PV created a show removing all the boring dialogue, keeping all the fun music and choreography, while telling the story completely by making use of video footage and pictures from the original cast. The duets between actors on stage and video footage from last season was reminiscent of the famous Nat King Cole duet with daughter Natalie.
It is a “feel good” show, filled with joy and happiness and features lots of nostalgic singing and dancing, as well as many of the same stars from last year and the same great ABBA songs… in a way that you’ve never seen before!
MAMMA MIA! at the Cabaret is pure fun! It’s like listening to your old records… It’s an ABBA-solutely perfect escape from the anxiety of today and a wonderful way to spend an evening out with your friends and family… safely! All ages are welcome. All safety protocols are in place for both actors and audience. Tickets are available now at act2pv.com.
MAMMA MIA! is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre international (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI, 423 West 55th Street, New York, NY 10019.
Here’s what people are saying:

They all continue to perform to sold-out audiences today!
