Mamma Mia: I Have a Dream — Anybody else watching?

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

I'm not sure it'll reach the heights of the BBC ALW shows (I loved those!), but I'm going to give it a go.

Some Greek sunshine will also be nice now the evenings are getting darker!

Watching now. Love it

It was clearly blowing a fake and bloody freezing. They all looked like they needed oodies when they weren't on stage.

Argh. Blowing a gale

I loved Tobias’ and the girl in Chiquitita with the shorter hair’s performances. Love this type of thing - and yes I agree it’s hammy 🤣🤣 I predicted no one was going home .

I think it was probably filmed in May, which isn't always that good in Greece.

We are watching, I think the girls are better than the boys

It'll be interesting to see the public vote, I can see one of the blonde ladies winning as I think people will like them to the film Sophie

It's worth watching just for Abba's music, although it's hard to compare the contestants when they're singing different songs

Someone has put the wrong disc in. This was last weeks.

Yes! Why is it last week’s episode they’re showing again?!

I think they must repeat Sunday's show on the Saturday after. Trying to compete with Strictly maybe? I am assuming it's still on as normal tomorrow night?

Isn’t it on tomorrow?

Yes it is on tomorrow.

I loved this!
There seem to be some really talented women and hopefully the men will shape up in time.
Looking forward to episode 2 tomorrow.

I just saw it was this eve and expected episode 2!!

Me too. It's not been very clear the way they are scheduling this show tbf! Plus, I still don't understand how the final Sophie and Sky will be chosen and when.

I'm watching this! Interested as I saw some of it being filmed when I was in Corfu in late May this year. They were filming at one of the tavernas in the village we were staying in. In the afternoon they did a lot of rehearsals, then in the evening they filmed it all. We had a great view from the balcony of our apartment, I'll be interested to see how it looks when it's screened!

I like Zoe's top! Can anyone track it down for me?

Why is there so much asking for lines?!

Given most of them have professional training I’m surprised they didn’t all have the lines down 100%

We don't know how long they had to learn it. It might have only been an hour or two. West End productions rehearse for weeks before starting.

It jumps around a lot. I suspect all the opening vocals were done before the show and they had prep time for the workshop. Should the guys not be working on their auditions, not tans!

Wow Desmonda can't half sing! (Maybe not act though.)

We know she can sing though.
It was the acting that was iffy in the workshop

I suspect it was filmed over just 3-4 weeks rather than 8-10 weeks so the boys were doing whatever we will see next week while the girls were doing this.

While they ideally want people who can act, sing and dance, in terms of what they need for musical theatre they want great singers who can dance and act passably. The singing is the top skill.

Mmm I think all the people in West End are great actors too
