The Queen of Norway spent some time with her daughter-in-law, Crown Princess Mette-Marit on Wednesday night. The two saw the musical, “Mamma Mia!” at the People’s Theater in Oslo.

But this outing wasn’t only for fun and laughs. The performance raised money for breast cancer research. All proceeds went to the Pink Ribbon campaign.

“This is about raising awareness,” Queen Sonja said. “There are very, very many who are affected, and we all know someone who is affected. Who knows when it’s our turn? I think Pink Ribbon action is a great and very great way to meet a challenge on.”

The Queen also revealed that she had already seen “Mamma Mia!” 3 times already – and two of them were in London when Lisa Stokke performed.

“It’s like some of that generation, the dance and the great thing about this. So “Dancing Queen” is not so bad, “she said about the musical.
