Yesterday, a friend and I went to Bangkok to see the Mama Mia production as we had waited for it to come to Pattaya but still has not come to the little place by the sea. The movie was great and the performances were excellent IMHO. Having seen the Broadway musical at least 10 times and being a big fan of ABBA, I had to see the movie on big screen before I saw it on the DVD.

 

We went to Siam and were told the theater was only VIP seats. They were 500 baht which we both thought was nuts but having driven from Pattaya to Bangkok to see it, we weren't going home without a show. We paid the money and walked into the place. HOLY SHIT! This place was amazing. The seats were the same telescopic electronic seats you get on a first class airplane and they recline all the way to lay down position. I was impressed. The seats came with a pillow and a very comfortable full size blanket. I have not experienced such a comfortable seating at a movie in any place I have ever been. It was simply delightful. For those of you who don't mind paying the price of a New York movie ticket in Thailand for a fantastic experience, give Siam Paragon a try!

I agree with all you wrote. I have seen the stage production only twice myself and thoroughly enjoyed the film, as did my boyfriend.

 

You didn't mention that there were only 3 of us in a 40 seat theater. Also, the odd thing of no one checking our tickets.
