Meryl Streep leads an all-star cast in the feature-film
adaptation of the beloved musical that has been seen by
more than 30 million people in 170 cities and eight languages
around the world. Bringing the timeless lyrics and melodies
of iconic super group ABBA to movie audiences, summer
2008 is the season for Mamma Mia! The star-studded soundtrack
is the ultimate souvenir to the movie.
The feature film adaptation of the global stage hit production
brings the magic of ABBA's music to the silver screen.
With rising star Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper, alongside
Hollywood heavy-hitters Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan,
Colin Firth Stellan Skasgârd, Julie Walters and
Christine Baranski, the film features the stars' versions
of 17 ABBA classics in this celebration of a mother, a
daughter and three possible dads.
Mixed, mastered and produced by ABBA's musical geniuses
Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, the soundtrack
is a must-have collection of these pop gems. Andersson
and Ulvaeus reunited in Stockholm with the musicians who
played on the original ABBA songs to record the disc in
February 2007. It was the first time the musicians had
played the songs together since ABBA toured more than
25 years ago. Along with producing the recording, Andersson
also played keyboards. He commented, "We didn't have
to think about it - it was in the fingers."
The actors joined together for the first time to record
their vocals in London in April, 2007, prior to the commencement
of principal photography, and continued recording later
that summer on location while filming on the beautiful
Greek islands. Whether it's Streep, Walters and Baranski
making their mark on "Dancing Queen," Brosnan
and Streep's upbeat rendition of "SOS," or the
energetic song-and-dance numbers such as "Voulez-Vous,"
the Mamma Mia! soundtrack captures the essence of the
originals, while still giving them new and dazzling treatments.
Inspired by the storytelling arcs of ABBA's songs from
"Dancing Queen" to "Money, Money, Money"
and "Take a Chance on Me," Mamma Mia! is a celebration
of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found.

about Mamma Mia! |
The three
women who created the worldwide smash stage hit-global producer
Judy Craymer, writer Catherine Johnson and director Phyllida
Lloyd-repeat their roles in bringing this joyful, musical
story to the big screen. The Mamma Mia! film is produced
by Judy Craymer and Gary Goetzman.
An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on
an idyllic Greek island, Donna (Streep) is about to let
go of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), the spirited daughter she's
raised alone. For Sophie's wedding, Donna has invited her
two lifelong best girlfriends-practical and no-nonsense
Rosie (Julie Walters) and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya
(Christine Baranski)-from her one-time backing band, Donna
& the Dynamos. But Sophie has secretly invited three
guests of her own.
On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her
down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna's past
to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier.
Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and
old romances will be rekindled on this lush island full
of possibilities. |
