Mamma Mia

Taking tubes, shopping at busy Oxford street, walking around cosmopolitan Leicester square and Convent garden, visiting antique museums and renovated palaces and enjoying roof garden dinner at Babylon, many visitors may think they have covered most interesting things in London. It may be true. But something important is still missing. It is "show".

As a culturally rich city, there are many theatres across London. Those are generally divided into West End, Fringe and repertory (such as The National Theatre Shakespeare's Globe).

This time, I went to the Prince of wales theatre in Picadillary. Of course, Mamma Mia has been there since 2004. I booked ticket online 2 weeks in advance. I chose middle seat at upstairs (Circle). Stall is in downstairs. Not like in cinema, all seats were occupied in the show. I was told before many Europeans come and enjoy shows in London during the weekends. It might be true.

I feel it was worth going there. Really entertaining.The audiance had been clapping and applauding at the end of each section . The show features Abba songs which are cleverly integrated into the story written by Catherine Johnson. Film was produced after the success of show.

Someone in busy life can use shows as a stress reliver. My little advice, really.
