I've seen Mamma mia and I'm going to see Love in a few months. I think she would probably like either (even though I haven't seen Love yet - I've heard fabulous reviews), but Mamma Mia might be a little more "girly." It's a very fun show!

I've seen Mamma Mia 5 times (different cities) and it's the ultimate "fun" show. I will be seeing Love in Oct. but the preview reviews have been good.

JMO, but it was very special to share this with my 2 daughters, youngest was about 13 when she first saw it. We all loved it!

I think she will enjoy either, though. Have fun!

I recently saw Love in Vegas and I saw Mammia Mia where I reside last year. A tough decision, I loved the LOVE show in Las Vegas it was fabulous. My husband fell asleep, and said he liked Mamma Mia better!! At 13 she more than likely isn't going to have the background on the Beatles or there music as much. Mamma Mia has a story to it, if she likes Abba music, then I think although THIS IS TOUGH Mammia Mia gets my vote! I think you would enjoy either very much. I don't think you can wrong with either.

Oops . . . just noticed I forgot to mention that I was voting for Mamma Mia, which I shared with my daughters. Senile moment, I guess.

We saw Mama Mia twice locally (not in Las Vegas), and it is fun. We have yet to see Cirque du Soleil's LOVE, but bought tickets for October. LOVE officially opens on June 30th, and the advance reviews have been excellent.

I would recommend seeing LOVE since it is exclusive to Las Vegas. Mama Mia has been on national tour for years, and you could see when it comes out your way.

How exactly does one sit through that much Abba music and live to tell the tale? LOL.

Both are fun shows.
I have posted my review of 'Love' which may help you decide.
'Mamma Mia' would probably get a PG-13 rating if it were a film. It is closer to what a stereotypical teenage girl would be watching on TV if that helps.
'Love' may be more of a stretch, but it could open her eyes to more artsy things, too.
