Review: Mamma Mia! The Musical at The Star Gold Coast
The world class Matt Ward Entertainment presents Mamma Mia! The Musical performing at The Star Gold Coast from June 19 - July 11. The performance was filled with beautiful set design, stunning costumes and a talented cast that closely resembled the actors seen in the live action Mamma Mia! Film. It was an enjoyable experience for the whole family and I would highly recommend this musical for those in Gold Coast looking for a fun night out!

Morrison calling on border exemptions for the vaccinated
