Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Admit it: You still feel a stir when you hear those first pounding piano chords and opening aaaahs of ABBA's "Dancing Queen." So, this summer, let go and let the aaaahs wash over you with Modern Tonic's Mamma Mia! contest.
On July 18, Meryl Streep (yes, Meryl Streep!), Pierce Brosnan, Christine Baranski and Colin Firth will sing and dance through the ABBA oeuvre, with the Greek isles as the backdrop, in Mamma Mia! The Movie. And if you take a chance (click here!) on our random drawing, you can win a cabin for two on the Atlantis Events London to Barcelona cruise from August 30 to September 9, 2008.
So while you're sharing your ABBA love in the theater with all the other dancing queens, send up a little S.O.S. to the sweepstakes deities. Here's your chance to prove that all those hours lip-synching to Agnetha, Benny, Björn and Anni-Frid were time well spent.
Mamma Mia! The Movie opens July 18 from Universal Pictures.
