OK, I know that I am just a big ol’ geek, but I am quite literally counting down the days until this movie comes out. I saw the show on Broadway MANY years ago and loved it and have since seen the traveling version. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE it. The movie will have a star-studded and talented cast:<\/p>\n
Stellan Skarsgard
\n(Robin Williams’ rival\/nemesis from “Good Will Hunting”)<\/p>\n
Amanda Seyfried
\n(from HBO’s “Big Love”)<\/p>\n
Colin Firth
\n(“Pride & Prejudice” and “Bridget Jones”)<\/p>\n
Pierce Brosnan
\n(“Bond, James Bond”)<\/p>\n
Dominic Cooper There aren’t enough words to give proper accolades to either Christine Baranski (if you haven’t seen “Cruel Intentions<\/a>“: RUN, do not walk, do not pass “Go”, do not collect $200 – just GO…hilarious movie and GREAT soundtrack…) or Meryl Streep; just suffice to say that I’m hooked…if they’re in it, I’ll go see it. The only time that philosophy has ever failed me was with “Evening<\/a>” a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n This movie looks like it will be visually stunning, with lots of scenic views of Greek islands. In addition to loving the storyline and the music, Greece is my dream “someday” destination. We are saving our pennies and hoping to be able to afford a vacation there next summer. On a slightly-related topic, if you ever get a chance to see the IMAX movie “Greece: Secrets of the Past<\/a>“, it is absolutely worth your time. We saw it in Chicago (at the Field Museum, or the Shedd Aquarium, I can’t remember – maybe the Museum of Science and Industry?) a while back (we were there to see the Tut exhibit) and it was GORGEOUS. Beautiful music in it, as well and it was narrated by Nia Vardalos, writer\/star of “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”. I loved the caryatides that “came to life” at the end.<\/p>\n Anyway…I will be at the theatre on the first day (July 18th) that “Mamma Mia” opens, I guarantee it. Hubby liked the show, too, and is even a little excited, himself (or, at least he’s willing to go with me).

\n(“Dakin” from “The History Boys<\/a>” – I saw this show on Broadway, as well, and it was BRILLIANT (co-starred the actors that play Madame Maxime <\/a>and Uncle Vernon<\/a> from the Harry Potter movies). I believe that he played Dakin in the movie version (haven’t seen it), as well, but he was phenomenal on Broadway – absolutely stole the show.<\/p>\n
