Mamma Mia Musical in Montreal and Le Seingalt

I was a little sceptic when deciding to go and see the show Mamma Mia  http://www.mamma-mia.com . As I am only an avid Abba Fan and I really did not enjoy the movie, I was a little apprehensive about what the musical would be like as it has the same storyline.  I am really happy to say that I had a marvellous time.  You just can`t beat a live performance.  It was filled with comedy, great mise en scene and was composed of an outstanding team of performers. The vocal performance of Chloe Tucker (playing Sophie Sheridan) and Kaye Tuckerman (playing Donna Sheridan - the mother) blew me away, it`s rare that I get shivers. From a comedy stand point, without the performances of Alison Ewing (playing the part of Tanya) and Mary Callanan (playing Rosie), the show just would not have been the same.  They are some seriously funny ladies.  When a show can keep you enthralled from beginning to end, you can understand why it has been a hit for quite some time, well worth the $100.00 ticket sale.

If ever you do get a chance to see any show at Place des Arts www.laplacedesarts.com, I highly recommend dinning at Le Seingalt www.restaurantseingalt.com.  The food was mouth watering.  My crab cake was a rare treat and my filet mignon was cooked to perfection.  The service was great, not only was he pleasant, he was quick and efficient even with a full dining room.  The prices range anywhere from $20.00 to $30.00 a plate, not high fine dinning but it sure tasted like it.

Food for thought, did you know that Casanova's real name was Giovanni Casanova de Seingalt? Neither did I.

Thanks to Micheline for an elegant, relaxing and entertaining night. (Big Smile)
