Review: 'Mamma Mia!' on Broadway reminds us that this was the original jukebox musical
NEW YORK — ABBA sold hundreds of millions of records but they would have been even bigger if they'd paid more attention to the United States. Benny, Björn, Agnetha and Anni-Frid at some point decided they were happy with being the rich dancing queens of Europe and that the tough Stateside nut was just not worth the work to crack. So in the U.S., they were widely seen as a Swedish novelty act, a fad band. Even the arrival on Broadway of 'Mamma Mia!' in 2001 didn't immediately change that. The show went cautiously to Toronto (ABBA was bigger in Canada) after London for its North American premiere. New York still worried everybody. No reason. It ran on Broadway for 14 years. Almost a quarter century later, anyone sitting in the Winter Gardens Theatre, or merely reading the boffo grosses of the musical during the preview performances these last few weeks, can see that U.S. audiences are as hungry as ever for 'Mamma Mia!,' thanks in part to the movies and maybe the uptick in vinyl and disco nostalgia. All that the producers did this summer was stick the touring production on Broadway to fill an empty theater. It's the same diminutive set I saw in Chicago, the cool jetty that arrived at the show's climax got cut years ago and has not returned. Why waste the money? For those of us who've seen that tour half a dozen times, the only surprise is the addition of more live musicians for Broadway, union minimums being a helpful thing in this case. Actual acoustic sounds have replaced some pre-programmed tracks. Awesome! Benny Andersson's synth work on the Yamaha GX1 and the Moog Polymoog is legendary but 'Mamma Mia' combined the original sound with Martin Koch's clever theatrical arrangements, and it needs lots of humans in the pit. Happily, that touring cast starred Christine Sherrill as Donna, a star who lacks only name recognition. Sherrill's massive but vulnerable belt is ideally matched for this material. She's the best Donna of all time, in my book. Never has a Donna better nailed 'The Winner Takes It All,' the show's brilliant idea for its 11 o'clock number, rehabbing a tragic break-up song that had been rendered weirdly up-tempo in ABBA's original recording. The rest of the cast is just fine; the oldsters give the material respect while having fun and the kids all seem delighted just to be there. Doing this. I remember vividly seeing 'Mamma Mia!' at London's Prince Edward Theatre just prior to its opening. People went berserk with delight. The whole concept of a jukebox musical — with an original story that included songs people already knew backwards, used in a fresh storytelling context — was unknown back then and people giggled with excitement as they wondered how, say, 'Does Your Mother Know' would be used since the order of the songs was hidden in the program. (With a clever gender switch to avoid any creepiness.) Back in 1999, the all-female team of writer Catherine Johnson, producer Judy Craymer and director Phyllida Lloyd crafted a brilliant ABBA delivery mechanism, nothing more, nothing less — a simple story about a single hippy mom (British in the U.K., Irish-American in the U.S.) who had slept with at least three guys on the beach in Greece and later had a daughter, Sophie (Amy Weaver), who was getting married at her mum's taverna and invited all three of her potential dad candidates to the nuptials. Add in two sidekicks for Donna (Jalynn Steele and Carly Sakolove) and two for Sophie (Haley Wright and Lena Owens) and you had a story that understood sooner than anyone else that emotional mother-and-daughter stories are a goldmine in musical theater, because that is who likes to go. 'Mamma Mia!' has the youth POV (well, it did) and also lots of songs of parental regret ('Slipping Through My Fingers' and so on). I can't overstate my respect for the show; it's a masterpiece of its populist kind, much imitated but never equalled. Sure, the chronology doesn't make sense any more. If the 'dot dot dot' shenanigans were happening in 1979, as they say, Donna would be 70 now, which she's clearly not. But then maybe 'Mamma Mia!' is still happening in 1999, given that no one has phones or taverna websites or knows much about DNA tests. But no book refresh was forthcoming; 'Mamma Mia!' remains timeless, stuck in the eternal ABBA timewarp, much like the group's A.I. avatars who entertain in London, cheating aging and mortality. The big takeaway for me is that even as the U.S. underestimated this band, so Broadway underestimated this brand. It's a one of a kind. Just watch how many people will come and have fun. Limited run? We'll see.

Bob the Drag Queen Counts How Many Times Lady Gaga Asks Fans at Mayhem Ball to Put Their Paws Up
Few phrases are as iconic to fans of Lady Gaga than being instructed to 'put your paws up' — and Drag Race alum Bob the Drag Queen decided to figure out exactly how often Mother Monster still says it. In a video posted to his TikTok on Wednesday (Aug. 6), Bob shared a clip of himself preparing to attend the Mayhem Ball in Los Angeles, in which he revealed his plan to track the number of times Gaga instructs her fans to put their hands in the air. More from Billboard Lady Gaga Kicks Off The Mayhem Ball: See Every Song on the Opening Night Setlist Bob the Drag Queen Is Not Sorry for His Antics on 'The Traitors' Season 3: 'Move On' Lady Gaga's 'Wednesday' Role Will Also Include a Spooky New Song for Season 2 'I'm headed to the Mayhem Ball, and I have this little counter,' Bob said, holding up a handheld tally counter to the camera. 'I'm gonna count how many times Lady Gaga requests that we put our hands up. I'm counting 'put your hands up,' 'put your paws up,' 'get them up,' 'hands up,' anytime it is clear to me that she is wanting us to put our hands in the air.' Throughout the rest of the clip, Bob interviews a series of his friends before the show to get their predictions for how often Gaga will ask the crowd to raise their hands. TikTok personality and singer Brittany Broski guessed that Mother Monster would ask 15 times, while Bob's partner, Jacob Ritts, said she'd make the request 131 times. 'I was gonna say 45 [times],' Bob offered. After a series of clips from the show, wherein Gaga performed songs including 'LoveDrug,' 'Poker Face' and 'Paparazzi,' Bob appeared back on camera to reveal that the singer asked her fans to put their hands in the air a whopping 88 times. 'I did include the four times that she sang it in the song 'Applause,' to be fair,' Bob said with a laugh. 'Make sure your arms are rested before you go see Mayhem.' Fans looking to throw their hands up at one of Gaga's forthcoming shows still have plenty of opportunities to do so. Mother Monster is performing two Mayhem Ball shows in Seattle on Thursday (Aug. 7) and Saturday (Aug. 9), before heading to New York City for a six-date mini-residency at Madison Square Garden starting on Aug. 22. The tour will reach Miami, Toronto and Chicago in the coming months before Gaga heads overseas for the European leg of her tour.

It's easy to be a Katy Perry fan. It's harder to be Katy Perry.
I was among the nearly 20,000 fans who showed up to see Katy Perry play her hits at Madison Square Garden. MANHATTAN — The little girls twirling in glittery skirts outside of Katy Perry's Madison Square Garden concert don't know her latest album flopped. They don't know how poorly her spaceflight stunt was received, how her quirky persona has been panned as dated or how her split from fiancé Orlando Bloom is being dissected online. 'I like 'Firework,'' says Ivy, an 8-year-old who's in attendance with her mom and little sister. She's shy talking with a stranger but bursting with energy after I walk away. She tells me she loves listening to 'California Gurls' and 'Teenage Dream' in the car, though she wasn't born when those songs came out. 2025 has been, statistically and anecdotally, a tough year for Perry. Once a main pop girl who was the first female artist to land five No. 1 hits from a single album, her 2024 release 143 was gleefully panned as dull and uninspired, peaking at a career-low No. 6. Still, on Aug. 11, she's in the middle of her 'Lifetimes Tour,' performing in front of a sold-out crowd. There are a lot of children here, flanked by nostalgic millennials and Gen Z-ers donning alien costumes and colorful bob wigs to pay tribute to her famous looks. Surrounded by the futuristic, metallic visuals of her latest, least popular era, Perry takes the stage. 'Turn your notifications off,' she instructs the audience after performing high-energy choreography in futuristic robot garb, surrounded by several male backup dancers. She opens her set with three songs from later albums — not her most beloved work, but she puts on an entertaining show. When the crowd hears the opening notes of 'Dark Horse,' the energy shifts. Everyone comes back to life, singing instead of just swaying. This wasn't some concert; it was the Katy Perry, queen of late 2000s pop music. She has already cemented her legacy with 14 songs that hit the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 — from 'I Kissed a Girl' in 2008 to 'Chained to the Rhythm' in 2017. Her music is woven into the cultural tapestry of the aughts, and her playful imagery is unmistakable. We're lucky we get to behold her at all. Hot N Cold 'I'm 40 years old,' Perry says to the crowd, taking it slow after running around the infinity-symbol-shaped stage. She then pauses, smiling and flipping her hair from side to side. '40 and f***ing fabulous.' Over and over, Perry demonstrates incredible feats of athleticism and cardio, impressive for a human being of any age. She sprints, slides and aces TikTok-friendly moves with her backup dancers. But every time she breaks character by grabbing the mic to ad lib or punctuating choreography with a silly face or a robotic dance break, I cringe. Now, Perry has always been quirky. It worked in the late 2000s, when reaction GIFs ran the internet and millennial-coded outbursts were king. It feels unkind to demand that the person who gave us 'Hot N Cold' and 'Last Friday Night' update her personality for the 2020s. At some points, she seemed aware of her perception to a fault, like she didn't want to be onstage. She repeatedly referenced that it was past her bedtime, and when fans voted for her to play 'Not Like the Movies' and 'The One That Got Away' during an interactive part of the nearly two-hour set, she announced that she would simply 'dissociate' to be her 'hot mess self and play a song from my very first marriage.' Regardless of what mood Perry was in, her fans were thrilled to see her. I talked to several of them standing outside the venue before the show started about what brought them out on a Monday night. Restaurant owner Krista was there with her 20-something bartenders, Howie and Zee, who were dressed in bright blue costumes to channel Perry's song 'E.T.' The duo couldn't even pinpoint when their fandom began — it's been part of their lives since childhood. As their 'momager,' Krista said she bought them all tickets as a birthday present, fulfilling a longtime dream to see Perry. All three refused to critique the pop star, focusing instead on how happy they were to be there. 'We're rooting for her. I just can't wait to see all the theatrics because I know it's going to be hot,' Krista said. I thought that Maria, a 28-year-old wearing an astronaut jumpsuit as a tribute to Perry's Blue Origin trip to space, might have been playfully making fun of the singer, but she didn't have any hot takes to share. She came all the way from Ecuador to see Perry, who's she's loved for more than half of her life. 'People who think there's something about her that's wrong … they're wrong,' Maria told me. Matt, a 21-year-old who immediately declared himself to be more of a Taylor Swift fan, couldn't deny how excited he was to see Perry. 'I've been a Katy Cat since birth … it's like healing my inner child and whatnot,' he told me of identifying with the star's fandom. He's aware Perry is past her peak, but that's not going to stop him from having fun. 'Katy Perry is a flop. She's a flop! Let's be real,' he said. 'But I'm very excited for [the concert.] Like, Katy Perry herself. Not a new album.' Not like the movies So what if the music flopped? Perry sold out Madison Square Garden. She has a legion of young fans screaming the lyrics of her child-friendly empowerment songs, who are then surrounded by dressed-up Gen Z-ers who got to know her music when they were young too. For every moment Perry made me cringe, there were others that made me laugh. She took a selfie on someone's phone, then instructed them on her favorite filters they could use to post it. She snatched a sign that said 'Lesbians for Katy' and stuffed it in her bodysuit, dedicating 'I Kissed a Girl' to 'the community.' She refused to play the sexually suggestive song 'Peacock' in the presence of her 5-year-old daughter, condemning whoever wrote it (it was her), then sang a few bars anyway. She battled a giant worm with a lightsaber. At her best, she is silly and self-aware. So what happened next, during the climax of Perry's performance, was perhaps the most perplexing moment of the show. It was when she started bringing fans from the audience onstage. It began on a sweet note. There were two children and two older Gen Z-ers she had handpicked to stand beside her, all dressed in costumes. She indulged the little kids, asking them what they wanted to be when they grew up (a singer and a lawyer, respectively) and praising the one who refused to tell her where she lives. I recognized one of the older people Perry welcomed to join her — 19-year-old Aidan, whom I spoke to earlier with his 21-year-old friend Kira. They told me they'd been Perry fans since childhood, just like the kids that Aidan was towering above. There was a fourth person. His name was Jason, and because of the way he quickly asked for a selfie and then requested Perry perform a different song than planned, I knew something was up. Then he called his boyfriend to join him. Ah, a proposal was unfolding. Perry made a lot of jokes — some landing better than others — and the whole thing seemed to go on forever. I'm happy for them, but please, the people want to hear 'Part of Me.' 'Maybe one day this will happen for us,' Perry said of the proposal to one of the children onstage. Then she just moved on with the show. Wide awake I was struck by how Perry continued performing love and breakup songs through her very public split from Bloom, whom she'd been with on and off for nearly a decade. As rumors about a budding romance with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made headlines, I couldn't help but wonder what was going on behind the scenes and brewing in her heart as she poured her emotions and energy out for screaming strangers. 'I know you wish you were in bed, just like me,' Perry said to the moms in the audience, cementing my guilt about expecting nostalgic perfection from a woman who's been through so much since 2010's Teenage Dream. Maybe it's fun living out her peak years in front of thousands of adoring fans. Maybe it's a constant reminder of how she's failed to achieve on the same level she once could. As Perry sang 'Roar' and flew around the venue on a giant butterfly, which fortunately didn't fall apart on her like it had in the past, I thought about the contrast between her gloomy quips and her sunny visuals. For a pop star, the dichotomy of who she wants to project and who she is right now doesn't make sense — but she's not just a famous singer, she's a person. Though she was flying in circles above the crowd, she felt grounded and relatable to me for the first time. Perry might not have really wanted to be there, but she was, and that meant so much to the sold-out crowd, even if she resented them a little bit for it. Her life might not be relatable, but ambition and disappointment are. She's both a plastic bag and a firework. I know how that feels. Cover thumbnail photo:for KP Solve the daily Crossword
