Another musical production...
Not the first time, but the second time I am watching...
Cerain scenes were hilarious, like the "Tonight the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me shining like the sun smiling, having fun feeling like a number one". A cleverly written play with the abba songs used. But something was amiss compared to Les Mis which I watched 3 years ago...it lacks that X-factor to be considered a world class muscial. I dunno what.... perhaps the backdrop was too unadventurous like Les Mis, Oliver and Forbidden City. It's too simple and constant. Not much of a movement just simple/short rotation through-out. Though swan lake is not exactly under musical genre, but the ballet scene transformation is much more impressive.

I would rate it Band 2 like Miss Saigon.
