Laurie is the biggest ABBA fan that I know, so I had been dying to take her to see this show since the first time I saw it, and it finally happened!
We had seats in the front row of the upper balcony, my first time sitting up there, and it is *really* high, and the stairs are really steep. Laurie has a bit of a problem with heights, so it was pretty interesting. 🙂 We were sitting on the far end of the front row, so a bit of the side of the stage was cut off from view, but for $25, it wasn’t too bad. 🙂
We had the same (new) cast that I had seen in October, except for an understudy, Kent Sheridan, as Bill. He had some really good moments, but overall I prefer Andrew Wheeler in the part. Marisa McIntyre as Sophie had improved tremendously since the first time I saw her, leading me to believe she had just had an off day before. And the rest of the cast was as fun as always! We had a great time, and Laurie really enjoyed the show, as I knew she would!
