Good news to all the ladies, gays, and closeted musical loving straight guys!
Universal is aiming to pump up Labor Day weekend grosses for its hit movie musical Mamma Mia! by presenting Mamma Mia! The Sing-Along Edition in select theaters nationwide.
Set to the tune of some fun ABBA songs, the musical starring the indestructible Meryl Streep has grossed more than $320 million worldwide. Domestically, it has grossed nearly $117 million and is close to surpassing Hairspray (whose box-office take was nearly $119 million) to become one of the top-grossing musicals of all time, ranking below Grease, Chicago and The Sound of Music.
“Sing-along” showings of movie musicals have become popular on the festival circuit, and last summer New Line also employed the strategy several weeks into its run of Hairspray. This should be fun, considering the first audience I saw the film with were deader than roadkill on a deserted highway.
Fred Turd, you can count me in on seeing this again! Hahaha.
Go see the play instead. Trust me!
I would def see the sing-a long . of course the play is better. u cant compare the 2 - take it for what it is. a movie made from a play and enjoy!!!
