Review

   Last Friday, Feb. 28th, I watched Mamma Mia. It's a musical drama written by Catherine Johnson.

   The story of Mamma Mia is a story between mother, daughter and mother's lovers.
Sophie is the name of the daughter, she was brought up by her mother. She wants to find out who her father is, so through her own wedding, she invites all three of Donna's former lovers over to try to find out who her father is.

   As a student focus on clothes design, the costume is one thing that I really focus on. In my opinion, the choice of costume in this drama was really good. I've searched for the stills of Mamma Mia, which are very similar to the drama. For example, the bib short that Donna wears. This kind of clothes was used as work clothes in the beginning. In one scene, Donna took an electric drill, and the electric drill and suspenders showed the image of a worker. But in fact, she is not, so I think these clothes show that she is a relatively independent woman. It is also because of this that she can raise Sophie alone. One the other hand, their party costumes are similar to those in the stills. All are boot-cut, this is a women's bell-bottoms. This type of pants is more popular in the 1990s and early 2000s. The difference from the stills is that the three of them are the same in the stills, but not the same in the school. I think this can reflect the different personalities of the characters.

As a musical, music is also an integral part of the play. The performances this time are mainly cover movies, but these songs are also very classic and indispensable. The most important thing is the singing voice of the actors. This is also a point that I think the people participating in the show performed very well. Their singing and expressive dance are the reasons why Mamma Mia is performed very well. These dances fully reflect the plot, and I enjoy watching it.

I was very impressed with the first scene and their scene at the party. The first scene was mainly because I felt very excited after the most popular music of Mamma Mia came out. And the scene of the party is because I think the scene layout is particularly good. Because it is very close to the stage at Black Box, I have a feeling of being in it.

My favorite actor is Sophie. At the beginning of the play, I was surprised by her voice. In the process of watching, I think her performance ability is also very good. She is an actress who surprised me a lot. The scene really made me hard to forget was the scene where Sky left Sophie. Sophie's tone and pace in this scene are sad and anxious. This is where I think she really did a good job.

I like this play very much. Because I think this is a drama that can engage the audience. Other viewers also liked it, because they all looked very happy and applauded.
