Two major new cast members are joining Mamma Mia! The Party, the hit immersive ABBA dining experience at The O2 London, with Peter Andre and X Factor winner Sam Bailey bringing additional star power from May.
Peter Andre joins Mamma Mia! The Party as Nikos
Peter Andre has enjoyed a highly successful career across music, television and stage and at the height of his music success in the 90s, he became the sixth highest selling artist in the UK with a string of number one hit singles and albums. The Mysterious Girl star will play the role of the owner of the eponymous taverna, Nikos from 14th May to 23rd July at selected performances.
He said: “I remember being absolutely blown away when I first saw Mamma Mia! The Party, and I am now ecstatic to be joining the cast as Nikos –a character I feel very connected to, especially through my Greek heritage. The experience has got the best of entertainment to offer, from singing and dancing to delicious Greek food, and I cannot wait to join this incredible production and welcome customers to Nikos’ Taverna.”
Sam Bailey cast in long-term role at London’s O2
Sam Bailey, pop singer and winner of the 2013 edition of The X Factor, will join the cast in the role of Debbie. Bailey will start performances on 14th May and form part of the cast until 4th April 2027. Alongside her recording career, Sam has starred in a number of musical theatre roles in the West End and across the country. She starred as Mama Morton in Chicago, Betty Simpson in Fat Friends the Musical, and Miss Hedge in the UK tour of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie.
Sam said: “I have seen first-hand how much joy Mamma Mia! The Party brings to people, and I could not be more thrilled to be part of this experience. No night ever looks the same! I cannot wait to join the rest of the cast performing the best of ABBA’s songs and bringing to life this fabulous party night after night.”
