Cast announced for Mamma Mia The Musical’s run in Milton Keynes as part of UK tour
The cast have been announced for Mamma Mia The Musical’s run in Milton Keynes as part of its UK tour.
The musical, which is based on the songs of ABBA, will be coming to Milton Keynes Theatre from October 13 to 24.
It opened in London’s West End in April 1999 and celebrated its 10,000th performance in the West End in July 2024.
Mamma Mia The Musical tells the story of 20-year-old Sophie, played by Hazel Baldwin, who is preparing to marry her fiancé Sky, played by Samuel George Downey.
Sophie wants her father to walk her down the aisle, but does not know his identity, but finds old entries in a diary belonging to her mother Donna (played by Jenn Griffin) that give three possibilities - Sam, played by Richard Taylor Woods, Bill, played by Simon Victor, and Harry, played by Arvid Larsen.
Other cast members include Donna’s best friends Tanya and Rosie, played by Sarah Earnshaw and Lauren Woolf respectively.
The show features many of ABBA’s classic songs combined into the unfolding family tale set on a fictional Greek island.
Creator and producer of Mamma Mia Judy Craymer said: "I'm excited to welcome some new cast members into the Mamma Mia UK tour family and can't wait for them to join us on the journey, bringing their talent to these roles through until 2027.
“Our much-loved musical tells the story of a mother, a daughter and three possible dads, inspired by ABBA's irresistible hits, and continues to delight audiences of all generations as they escape to our Greek island idyll."
Performances take place on each night of the run (October 13 to 24) at 7.30pm, with matinee shows at 2.30pm on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Tickets start at £20.28 for shows taking place Tuesdays to Thursdays, and £25.48 for shows taking place Fridays to Sundays.
The show has a running time of two hours and 35 minutes, and tickets are available now through the ATG website.
