Oscar-winning Ghost the Musical will tour the UK
Ghost the Musical will make a return to the stage this summer, embarking on a UK tour for the first time since 2019.
Antony Costa of British boy band Blue will join the new cast of Mamma Mia The Party! at London’s O2 Arena.
Now booking until March 2024, Costa will play the role of Nikos who runs the exotic and wonderful Nikos Taverna with his wife Kate and their family and friends on the Greek island of Skopelos.
Antony formed Blue in 2000 with members Lee Ryan, Simon Webbe and Duncan James, going on to sell 15 million records worldwide and winning the Brit award for best British Pop Act in 2003. The band recently sold-out arenas across the UK on tour in 2022.
Alongside his music career, Costa’s theatre credits include leading roles in Blood Brothers (West End), Boogie Nights (UK tour), Rock of Ages (UK tour), Zorro (Hope Mill Theatre), The Cat and The Canary (UK tour), Popstars: The Musical (UK tour), Aladdin (De Montfort Hall, Leicester) and Beauty and the Beast (Grand Opera House, York).
He said: “I am thrilled to have been given such a unique opportunity to be a part of Mamma Mia! The Party. Being a massive ABBA fan myself, I cannot wait to get stuck into such a fun project and immerse myself into the world that Björn Ulvaeus and Sandi Toksvig have so masterfully crafted. See you in the Taverna!
The rest of the new cast of London’s premier dining experience includes Rosemary Annabella Nkrumah (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Palace Theatre) as Debbie, Jacob Dachtler (Halls The Musical, Turbine Theatre) as Adam and Sarah Drake (From Here to Eternity, Charing Cross Theatre) as Nina.
Mamma Mia The Party! bookings extended
Due to what is said to be extraordinary demand, Mamma Mia The Party! is now booking until 3rd March, 2024. Next year also marks the 50th anniversary of ABBA’s legendary performance of Waterloo at the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest.
Created by ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus, with the English book by Sandi Toksvig, Mamma Mia The Party! is a unique experience, bringing ABBA’s hits to life more vividly than ever before.
Told through dialogue and timeless ABBA songs, a warm, romantic and funny story evolves and unfolds during the evening, taking place around the guests as they enjoy a gourmet four-course Greek feast. The evening ends with a 1970s disco, where audience members are encouraged to stay to sing and dance to ABBA’s greatest hits.
