'Mamma Mia!' at the Walnut: Despite the clichés, lighthearted fun

"Mamma Mia!," through July 15 at the Walnut Street Theatre, is one of the most popular musicals in the world. The Walnut production offers fun to be had, as long as you keep expectations modest. Costumes, set design, lighting, comic flair, and some good performances bolster a show based mostly on clichés and undistinguished music.
