Kristina Mamma Mia!Kristina
Synopsis:
the piece is based on the novel quartet of Swedish author Vilhelm Moberg and follows the story of deeply devout and fearful Kristina, her dutiful and hardworking husband Karl Oskar and their children who, together with some of the villagers, leave the mid nineteenth century poverty stricken Swedish countryside for America. It's an episodic tracing of the family's privation on the farm, the wretched three month journey by boat to America and the struggles of making a new life against the odds. their adversities are made all the greater by the arrival of many children until finally Kristina's ill-health reaches the point that, after eight pregnancies, another one would prove life-threatening.

Synopsis:
Weaving 22 ABBA songs-including "Dancing Queen," "the Name of the Game," "Take a Chance on Me," and of course the title tune-into the modern-day tale of a mother and her soon-to-be-married daughter, set on a small mythical Greek island, Mamma Mia! has proved to be a bona fide crowd pleaser.
