Elena_Prikhodko, I'm surprised that they've had it in Dubai...they've probably cut out some "sexually explicit" jokes; but then it wouldn't be the same. As for Meryl Streep, she's great no matter what role she plays, even though some critics were saying that it was her worst performance, but c'mon...it's a silly musical based on ABBA songs. But personally, I liked the play better than the movie version.

oh for sure they cut out all those xxx related jokes and scenes
but if you buy it on dvd sometimes they are fine........if its too many of those in the movie they simply wont release it in dubai in cinema :)
as for the show on the stage..........i bet they did cut out those and re made it especially for dubai public

CRAZY_VENUS, see, I really don't like theatre, I do not understand it. I don't feel the energy, the other way around - everything seems so fake and exaggerated to me. Too loud, too much make-up, too fake and unnatural. I just sense the fakeness too much in all people, and fakeness is the quality I cannot stand at all. Anywhere. So I prefer movies – there everything seems to be natural and realistic. Yes, I know that in movies they had a chance to redo each scene many times, but I don’t care – all I see is the end result. Dima’s brother’s wife Rachel is a writer, so she often goes to theatres here in Baltimore with her friends, and of course they have invited me a few times, but I had to say no, because it’s not my thing. I like visual art – paintings, sculptures, crafts – anything along those lines. So they invite me when they go to museums now and those invitations I gladly accept :)

I am so looking forward to see this one.

Elena_Prikhodko, oh my...it must be tough with such a censorship. :)

self-made, ok, so THAT's what bugging you about theatrical performances. :) I guess if I looked at it from that point of view I would not liked it either. To me it's a play, a game that I watch with my own eyes rather than through the lense of the camera operator or someone else. I choose what I want to see and feel, and that's what I enjoy, every person sees it through their own prism of emotions, and I truly respect that. I love to watch people transform into different personalities and how well they excell in that, at that point some seem fake, some are quite natural...It's a game, once again...

Imigrantka, it's nothing great, but very upbeat and somewhat amusing. You might enjoy it.

specially in the area that i live in
its called international city and it has clusters dedicated to some countries, so there is china, italy, russia, persia etc...........and a huge chinese shopping mall..........so its china town of dubai :)))))

CRAZY_VENUS, you're right - it's all about how you see it. And I like to play games in some ways, say, even in court it is a game to me, or just arguing sometimes for the sake of argument no matter what my real opinion on the subject matter is, but theatre is just too unnatural to me. I guess I am just overly sensetive to fakeness in anything... :)
