Mamma Mia! Take Two

Last October during our trip to London, we all (save for Emilie and Rebecca) saw a fantastic production of Mamma Mia!. An international English-language version of the musical is in the Frankfurt area for a few weeks and we couldn't resist seeing it again.

This time it was my friend Kathy, her daughter Elizabeth, Micaela, Emilie and me. And what made it all so doable was that it was being presented at the Jahrhunderhalle, a 12-minute drive from home.

One of the first questions we had once seated was "What are those screens next to the stage?" We got our answer when Sophie began singing the first song of the show, "I Have a Dream," and the German translation of the lyrics appeared on the screens. I was wondering if everyone coming to see the show could understand English.
