⭐ STEVIE DOC & TOBIAS TURLEY ANNOUNCED AS WINNERS OF MAMMA MIA! I HAVE A DREAM ⭐
Stevie Doc and Tobias Turley have won MAMMA MIA! I HAVE A DREAM, it has been announced.
After eight unmissable weeks of singing, dancing, and acting their way to a place in the final, Stevie Doc and Tobias Turley have tonight been crowned the winners of MAMMA MIA! I HAVE A DREAM, securing them a money can’t buy prize – the lead roles of Sophie and Sky in the West End production of MAMMA MIA!
Filmed in the idyllic setting of Greece where the MAMMA MIA! story is set, viewers have been treated across the series to incredible performances from the talented cast made up of 14 aspiring musical theatre performers. Each week, the theatre star hopefuls were put through their paces with a series of workshops, where they were mentored by MAMMA MIA!’s choreographer Anthony Van Laast and musical director Martin Lowe before being whittled down to the final four by judges Alan Carr, Jessie Ware, Amber Riley and Samantha Barks, under the watchful eye of the creator and global producer of MAMMA MIA! Judy Craymer.
The two girls vying for the highly sought after role of Sophie were Stevie Doc, 22, a musical theatre teacher from Glasgow and Esme Bowdler, 23, a barista from Chester. Hoping to land the role of Sky was Owen Johnston, 25, a theatre usher from Belfast and Tobias Turley, 23, a singing waiter from Somerset.
But it was down to the great British public to make the difficult choice on deciding who of the four will take the prize tonight with host Zoe Ball revealing the worthy winners to the nation in the show stopping final live from the Novello Theatre, the West End home of MAMMA MIA!
Over the course of the 75-minute live TV event, viewers were treated to stunning performances from Greece, including a show stopping medley of MAMMA MIA! hits. It was then down to the finalists who were given another chance to impress the judges, and most importantly, the voting viewers at home, with the solo performance of their lives, performed live at the West End home of MAMMA MIA!, the Novello Theatre.
The show fittingly culminated with a sensational group performance of ‘The Winner Takes It All’ before Zoe Ball revealed who the public had chosen to win the roles of Sophie and Sky.
On her win, Stevie, who performed a breath-taking version of ABBA’s classic ‘Thank You for the Music’ said: “I’m honestly lost for words. This is something I could never have imagined, and I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to even be on the show never mind win it! Thank you to everyone who has supported me and helped me to make this happen!”
After winning the public vote, an ecstatic Tobias, who performed ‘I’ve Been Waiting For You’ added: “I genuinely have no words, I’m speechless. I feel so grateful to everyone at home who voted for me, and to everyone who has worked on this show for always being so kind to me. This has been the best experience of my life and I am so thankful, it really means the world.”
After celebrating their momentous victory, the two will head straight into rehearsals with the MAMMA MIA! cast, before their debut West End performance in just seven weeks’ time, on Monday 29th January 2024 in London’s Novello Theatre.
Congratulations to Stevie and Tobias! ! !
