At the Orpheum through this weekend, “Mamma Mia!” is packed with talented performances, even if some of the production choices didn't quite land for this lifelong fan of the show. #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/09/mamm...

“Mamma Mia!” Is Gaudy Fun at the Orpheum Theatre

The production is overall a great time and has very high highs, but it's weakened by some of the directorial and set design choices.

Saw this posted to the @twincitiesgeek.com FB page and had to pass it on. For me it's clearly "1989," no contest.

You can only play one year's games from the 80's, which are you spending your quarters on?

1980: Pac-Man, Defender, Missile Command
1981: Donkey Kong, Galaga, Frogger
1982: Ms. Pac-Man, Pole Position, Tron
1983: Dragon's Lair, Mario Bros., Star Wars
1984: Punch-Out!!, Track & Field, Marble Madness
1985: Hang-On, Gauntlet, Ghost 'N Goblins
1986: Out Run, Arkanoid, Rampage
1987: Double Dragon, Shinobi, Operation Wolf
1988: Robocop, Narc, Bad Dudes
1989: Final Fight, TMNT, Golden Axe
