We are all huge ABBA fans except for probably my Mom. She likes their music but the three of us love it! We were so excited to see this broadway musical. Well we were pretty disappointed. We were all a little shocked at how dirty it was and how many sexual innuendos it had in it. The story line is really lame, which we all knew going into it, but again with our love for ABBA we were hoping for just a fun musical. The music was Fantastic! The performers all had beautiful voices. It was kind of fun because it wasn't sold out and so after the first act they let us move down close to the front. The best part was after the show had ended they came out and did 3 of our favorite ABBA songs and everyone stood up and danced and sang a long. So much fun!! But if I had to give that show a rating (which would be so nice to know the content in these shows), it would of been an R. Oh and I was so disappointed with the Vegas strip. You cannot believe how many billboards and signs that are promoting sex and pornography. As we were walking out of the hotel (Mandalay Bay), they had strippers outside of one of the clubs dancing trying to get people to come in their club. The sad thing is these girls were so young. It really made me think that I have an important job to do to make sure my 3 girls know the value of their self worth. Man there not kidding when they call this place sin city.
Anyways, we had such a great weekend shopping and eating out without any kids to worry about. Thanks to our great husbands who took over for us during the weekend. We stayed up late talking till I think 4am and then it was so nice to sleep in till 10am (yea when does that ever happen), we laughed and had such a great time.
We have decided that at least once a year we are going to do something fun like this to get away for the weekend with us sisters and my Mom to have a break and a fun bonding time.

That sounds like a fun weekend! Too bad the show was so disappointing with the sex crap! At least you did get some quality time together and a breather from being a Mom!
I love girls weekends. I do them with my mom and sisters at least once a year. Did you see the movie? We went for a GNO, it was fun - they have a sing a long version too. (I don't think the movie was as raunchy as the play).
I love get aways! They're so fun! Especially with a great group of people. I know what you mean about know the content of a show. Phil suprised me with a trip to Manhatten a couple years ago. He got tickets to see Rent. I love the music! But oh my, the dancing was nasty nasty in some parts and one girl actually mooned the audience. Hello!!
Yep we saw the movie and loved it and that is why we wanted to see the show. I have heard about the sing a long and that sounds like so much fun! I'm going to have to do that. I did hear Rent is raunchy too. Are there any good Broadways shows that are clean tha anyone has seen? I heard Wicked is good. Anyone seen it??
Woohoo! I had so much fun with you guys. I was seriously so sad when you all had to leave. We really must do this more often!
I did have a great time with you guys.
