Mamma Mia! - Original Broadway Cast Recording (1999)

I bought this Broadway cast album for my wife as we prepared for a trip to New York City with our sons. My oldest son graduated from high school in 2012 and asked for a trip to see a baseball game at Yankee Stadium. You don't have to ask me twice to visit NYC, so plans were made. We went to the Yankee-White Sox game on Sunday, July 1, 2012. We got there early for the 66th annual Old-Timers’ Day celebrations/game, then watched the Yankees win 4-2.

But I couldn't possibly go to New York without seeing a show on Broadway and I figured my sons would tolerate a show if they were already familiar with the music, so this jukebox musical based on songs by ABBA fit the bill quite nicely. The show was enjoyable and we had a great time. This CD was originally purchased for my wife to spin in her car as she drove around the piney woods of East Texas for her job. It makes for a nice souvenir, but I never listen to it, preferring to spin the originals on Gold.
