MAMMA MIA!

THE WEEKEND FINALLY ARRIVED - It was time to dress up and attend Mamma Mia at the Buell Theatre in downtown Denver!!

I drove up to Denver on Saturday morning to watch Jaime's kids during the day - Brad was hunting and Jaime had to work till 6:00 - Jill arrived along with Jessi and her kiddos and we all ate together before Jaime's babysitter arrived!

One quick pic before we go pick up Jaime at work!!

We dropped Jessi's kids off at her friends' house and with the Mamma Mia CD blaring, picked up Jaime and headed to nine mile station to catch the light rail to downtown - parking is non-existent downtown so this was the best way to get there!!

Jessi had ridden the light rail before so showed us the ropes as we purchased our round trip tickets and caught the right one!! This is a picture of Jaime and I on the light rail!!


It was fun walking the couple of blocks to the theater - everybody was milling around, some all dressed up, some not! It had been a LONG time since any of us girls had really dressesd up for a night out like this!

We grabbed one of the MANY women there to snap a picture of the 4 of us - actually, we figured the entire audience would be women and were surprised to see so many men there!! I think they enjoyed it though as much as we did!!
Our seats were in the 4th row of the balconey, dead center!! The seats were actually very good and although we were a ways from the stage, we could still see great and of course the music was fantastic!!
What an AWESOME performance!! The cast was fantastic and of course we were all out of our seats at the end, clapping and dancing - how can you NOT get into those songs????

It was fun comparing the musical cast to the movie cast of course - and now we're all excited to watch the movie once again!!!
Smiling but yawning, we headed back to the light rail where we snapped pics in front of the huge poster.............

What a great night the 4 of us had - now that we know the ropes to "Downtown Denver", we're anxious to have another GIRLS NIGHT OUT!!!

Sounds like so much fun! Em and I had our ABBA night this weekend too. We had a great time though the show did not live up to our expectations - oh well. It is always fun to sing the songs and just enjoy the music!
