Amy Yang Mamma Mia review IB Lit&Perf SL Ms.Guarino The review of Mamma Mia On February 26 2020, I watched a musical, “ Mamma Mia ” in the Black Box at Cheshire Academy. “ Mamma Mia” is a musical written by playwright Catherine Johnson. The director of school musical is Ms.Guarino. The main actors are Elena, Audra, Olivia, Jane, Jackson, Tony and Nate. This production talks about a young pretty bride-to-be, Sophie, invited three men to her upcoming wedding, each of whom has possibility to be her father. Sophie was dreaming a perfect wedding which includes her father giving her way. Her mom Donna did not want to talk about the past, so Sophie decided to find out her father by inviting three possible men to her wedding. The show is exhilarating and irresistibly joyful!

During an evening time, Beneatha and George came back to home and sat on the couch. George wanted to kiss Beneatha but Beneatha did not want to kiss him. She wanted to have a conversation with George. George was still annoying so Beneatha kicked him out. Mama came back and Beneatha complained to Mama and she said George is a fool.

George arrived to pick up Beneatha. When he saw Beneatha took off her headdress and revealed her real hair, everyone was shocked and disappointed. Then, George and Beneatha started to argue about the African heritage. Later, Walter wanted to talk about the business plan with George, but George seemed not interested in this. Then George and Beneatha left. Ruth fight with Walter about he spending money, making friends like Willy Harris and so on. It seemed like they have distance to each other. Mama came back and said she made a down payment for a new house. But the house is located in Clybourne Park. She mentioned that is the only house she can afford. Ruth was happy about this. Walter was disappointed because he wanted to use the money to start business. Now he has no money to do this. Mama was h...
