Mamma Mia!
Hit ABBA musical Mamma Mia! continues its success on the West End, with theatre tickets flourishing as ever. New to the cast from 14th June is Harriet Thorpe, a regular face on the West End, taking over the role of the glamorous Tanya.
Thorpe has spent the last two years performing the role of Madame Morrible in top selling show Wicked. Prior to this she has been seen in fellow West End musicals Les Miserables and Cabaret. Roles in Absolutely Fabulous and The Brittas Empire have also made her a familiar face on screen.
Mamma Mia! is inspired by the chart topping Swedish group ABBA, and features a score taken entirely from their soundtrack, and composed by former members Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson. The story centres on Donna, a former singer living in the Greek Islands with her daughter Sophie, who is soon to be married. Sophie’s father is absent; however she is desperate to have him give her away on her wedding day, so invites three of her mother’s former lovers to the island in the hope of discovering him. When Donna realises what has happened her heart is soon reawakened.
Thorpe replaces Jane Gurnett as the sophisticated, man-hungry Tanya, alongside cast members Linzi Hately (Donna) and Jessie May (Sophie). Also in the cast are Christopher Hollis, Paul Ryan, Catherine Russell and Norman Bowman.
