And at the end, everyone dances! Back at the Casino de Paris where it will be held until the end of January, the musical “Mamma Mia!” » displays a high score on the applause meter. Colorful, joyful, funny and particularly generous, the troupe sets the public on fire, as we saw last Wednesday. At the exit, the spectators were delighted and unanimous: “How good that does for morale!” »
“With this humid weather, I almost stayed under my duvet, fortunately my sister didn’t give me the choice. I just had one of the best evenings in a very long time. » Her eyes still sparkling, Anne, a pretty thirty-year-old with a baby face, is inexhaustible: “I’m feeling a little down at the moment with the news, my job which bores me, winter which is coming and thanks at this show, I see life in pink, I am positive. » “ABBA is happiness, but on stage it’s fantastic,” says Cécile, her big sister.
“The magic happened and I was on board”
With “Mamma Mia!” “, we actually escape from the gray Parisian atmosphere, heading to Greece. On a small paradise island, Donna is preparing to marry her daughter Sophie, whom she raised alone. In addition to the best friends arriving from the continent, the young woman discreetly invited three of her mother’s former lovers. One of them must be his father…
“I’ll be honest, the first ten minutes I wondered what I was doing there. ABBA in French, anything! I thought it was overplayed, the story a little grotesque, confides Sophie, 56, who came with her husband and childhood friends. And then the magic happened and I was on board, it was joyful and generous. And we all had a great evening, far from the grim news that never ceases to depress us. »
Like Anne or Sophie, there are many of them this gray autumn Wednesday evening to welcome the euphoric effect of the musical. “Between the war between Israel and Hamas, global warming, the storms in Brittany, the earth is dying and the rain which never stops falling, this show is a wonderful antidepressant,” says Mélanie, 22, bursting out laughing. came from the Paris suburbs with five friends.
“Even though it is very expensive, it is definitely worth it”
“We are all fans of ABBA, we have seen the film dozens of times but here, in a musical, it’s different, it’s really magical,” continues Manon, who is thinking of returning with her parents because, “even if It’s very expensive, definitely worth it. »
In the room, the atmosphere is indeed getting warmer and warmer. From 7 to 77 years old, or even older, they move to “Money” or “Dancing Queen. » The artists are warmly applauded and they hum on each hit. “This finale,” enthuses Mariette, 72 years old. When they come back with their glittery clothes and we all get up to dance, what joy. Even my husband played along, I hadn’t seen him dance for years,” laughs the lively septuagenarian.
