Sing along to the wedding preparations and the gathering of old friends and ex-lovers in this pre-DNA paternity search in which love conquers everybody. Hits which will have you humming along include “Dancing Queen,” Money, Money, Money,” and (of course) “Mamma Mia!”

“All I do is Dream of You,” “Make ‘em Laugh,” “Good Morning” and (of course) “Singin’ in the Rain” are just a few of the truly famous songs from this light-hearted Hollywood romance. Join generations of fans who warm to its 1930’s movie star’s predicament when a silent film turns “talkie.” He falls for the talented new voice behind his jealous leading lady’s lip-synching. Will true love win out? Sure it will. But not without dirty tricks, hijinks, and nearly endless great dancing and singing.
