Like your husband buying you tickets to see Mamma Mia after begging for three years. And what&#8217;s more surprising&#8230;He loved it too! Ok I&#8217;m probably exaggerating about the &#8220;loved&#8221; it part but after the first act he looked at me and said, &#8220;This is actually really good!&#8221; And he&#8217;s not even an ABBA fan.<\/p>\n<p>Our seats were premium. We bought them through Nevada Public Radio where we are members, and we got a VIP pass for an after show question and answer time. Sweet!<\/p>\n<p>Sitting third row in the middle, the band was loud and I could see the actors so well that we really got into it. But all the other NPR members around us didn&#8217;t. It could have been that we were the only members under the age of 65 and this was a late night for them. Who cares, we had a great time.<\/p>\n<p>I thought it was really clever how the songs (already written) were incorporated into a narrative that was written 20 years later. It&#8217;s almost like buying a soundtrack to a show you&#8217;ve never seen until now. What was sad was some of the actors never liked ABBA growing up. I wonder if they just say they love ABBA now because they&#8217;ve got a job. I guess that&#8217;d be like saying &#8220;I hate Bill Gates&#8221; then go boot up windows on their PC at home.<\/p>\n<p>If you come to Vegas and your spouse has been wanting to see this show for 3 or 4 years, take them. You might surprise yourself and get up and dance! Or you might just be surprised at how good it is.<\/p>\n<p>VIP  Baby!!<a href=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_vSTifKDMV8I\/RaMfl_4WldI\/AAAAAAAAAAM\/LvoPijvSaqc\/s1600-h\/100_0091.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_vSTifKDMV8I\/RaMfl_4WldI\/AAAAAAAAAAM\/LvoPijvSaqc\/s400\/100_0091.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes things surprise you.
