News: Stevie Doc and Tobias Turley Join The Cast Of Mamma Mia From Monday 29th January

Stevie Doc and Tobias Turley will join the London cast of MAMMA MIA! as the roles of Sophie and Sky.

The leading roles were cast through the ITV show MAMMA MIA! I Have a Dream, with Stevie and Tobias securing the winning spot and the famous roles in the West End production.

Each week on the TV show, Stevie and Tobias, along with the other theatre star hopefuls, were put through a series of challenging paces with workshops, masterclasses and performances by no other than MAMMA MIA!’s legendary choreographer Anthony Van Laast and the show’s musical maestro Martin Lowe. Each week the performers were judged by Alan Carr, Jessie Ware, Amber Riley and Samantha Barks, who had creator and global producer of MAMMA MIA!, Judy Craymer as their mentor.

After weeks of whittling down the theatre star hopefuls, it was down to the great British public to decide who of the four finalists would take the prize, with host Zoe Ball revealing Stevie and Tobias as the worthy winners in the show-stopping final, live from The Novello Theatre on Sunday 10th December.

Judy Craymer said, “After their extraordinary performances on ITV’s hit series MAMMA MIA! I Have A Dream, I cannot wait to see Stevie and Tobias make their debut at the Novello Theatre on 29 January. The stakes were high, but they both completely shone throughout the competition and dazzled both the judges and the public to win their respective roles in our musical. I am super excited to welcome them to the MAMMA MIA! family and celebrate this incredibly special year.”

Stevie and Tobias will join the London cast of MAMMA MIA! led by Mazz Murray as Donna, Kate Graham as Tanya, Nicola-Dawn Brook as Rosie, Haydn Oakley as Sam, Christopher Dickins as Harry and Stephen Beckett as Bill, with Natalie Langston returning from maternity leave on 22 January and playing Donna at certain performances. Also in the cast are Jessie Odeleye as Ali, Olivia Brookes as Lisa, Chay Wills as Eddie and Arcangelo Ciulla as Pepper.
