for my birthday, stefan surprised me with tickets to the mamma mia! the party show. i've been wanting to go since arriving in stockholm and was over the moon that he would tolerate a musical/abba for 4 hours straight!
the show, all in swedish, was easy enough to follow, we could deduce some of the jokes but not always. basically, a swedish woman married a greek man and started an abba themed restaurant together. when her son comes to greece to work at the restaurant for the summer he ends up falling in love with his stepdad's daughter. of course, the stepdad forbids the relationship. in the end, the traditional greek grandmother makes it all ok. it was great!
oh, we were surprised that the quality of the food was amazing! yes, for real. the greek appetizers, tzatziki, marinated olives, hummus, and octopus were eaten up with the gorgeous bread served. the main dishes, fish and meat, were also really good. some of the dishes were served family style, sharing them with our table mates, a lovely swedish couple; she was so fun to watch on the dance floor, she loved abba.
(sorry for the quality of the photos, all taken on my iphone)
if you haven't been, you must. go on, book tickets!
