Mamma Mia the movie premiered on Wednesday, 10 September at the GV Max theatre,
with His Excellency President S.R. Nathan gracing the event as Guest of Honor.
Philantropic Singaporeans and residents also showed up in full support of the Singapore's Children's Society and the movie,
with the 600 seater theatre full to the first 2 rows,
even though tickets for the Gala Premiere cost a pretty penny. (Between $100 and $300 if you must know!)
Yours Truly, with myself on vocals, Daniel P on guitar, and Jeremy on percussion, was delighted to have been selected to add some pizzaz to the occasion
and we specially tailored the night's repertoire
to comprise ABBA's famous hits
and other feet moving tunes from the same era.
These included songs of the soundtrack,
like Mamma Mia, Honey Honey, and I Have a Dream,
as well as other popular numbers like Hasta Manana (ABBA)
and Top of the World (The Carpenters).
Guests gamely tapped their feet and sang along,
as they feasted on a sumptous buffet.
The highlight of my night?
Getting to shake hands and take a photo with the President himself!
Last but not least, a HUGE thank you to Tony the events coordinator who so patiently helped with all our questions and requests.
xoxo,
Dawn
