Well, then I wonder what it was.
I'm surprised Mamma Mia was never in the game, not an exciting IP but I'm sure would have made a great show and Uni's first "Broadway-caliber" show.

How so? If Universal wants to tap in to the family market, it would have made a great choice... especially for the more older visitors wanting to do something.
If they were going to do a musical, it'd be WICKED, IMO. More "theme parky" and you don't have to license the music like with Mama Mia
ABBA is awesome, don't hate.
Though the less said about Mamma Mia!, the better :ack:

I think UC will have a hard time finding those bad "singing voices" to mimic the movie "talent".
The licencing of the music will be a huge cost although I would love to see it be done right. I like ABBA so no hate here.

Mamma Mia is awesome.
Facts aren't debateable.

It's going to be part of the "World of Music" at the new park. An "SOS" launch coaster, "Dancing Queen" spinner, "Does Your Mother Know" dark ride, and "Waterloo" restaurant (featuring Donna and the Dynamos" live), all themed to a Greek island resort...
A Pierce Brosnan imitator would boost attendance by 5%.

If he sings it would work only a game (try and mute the singer! 3 balls $1)

Mama Mia is a niche product doesn't fit the lineup of the park. If you want to go family friendly and music then Sing (as discussed before) would be a better option, Mama Mia isn't what I'd call good for the whole family.
To be fair, neither is Grease, but white people still lose their minds over it. In the little beachtown I grew up in, every musical we did was under scrutiny. Too much sex! Bad language! Adult themes! But Grease? It’s our favorite!!
Mamma Mia is the same way.I’m not saying it’s my ideal choice for a Universal park, but when I saw it in theaters this month, the thought did cross my mind
It was in bad shape. They closed it before the new show was written. The new show is now written. Permits were filed in June to start main interior construction. Construction has now begun.
