‘Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream’ Winners Stevie Doc, Tobias Turley End Their West End Run
variety.comK.J. Yossman “Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream” winners Stevie Doc and Tobias Turley have ended their West End run. The duo, who have been playing leads Sophie and Sky in the long-running ABBA-inspired musical, were plucked from obscurity after winning the ITV talent show “Mamma Mia!
I Have a Dream” last year. They immediately went into rehearsals and made their West End stage debuts at the beginning of this year.
Their run was always scheduled to end Oct. 5. Both are keeping their next steps under wraps. Izi Maxwell (“Six”) will be taking over as Sophie and Ben Irish (“Frozen the Musical”) as Sky. “Safe to say that I had the absolute time of my life working with such a wonderful cast, truly a remarkable experience and incredible opportunity!,” Doc told Variety. “At times, the work was hard but both rewarding and enjoyable all the same- especially having the chance to work and learn from such experts like Anthony Van Laast and Martin Lowe.
Whatever the future holds, I’m very grateful for time at the Novello Theatre and hope the best for the team!” Turley said: “‘Mamma Mia!’ has been the gift that keeps on giving – from competing in the ITV show to performing in the West End, it has given me so many amazing opportunities and I will always be grateful for being a part of this wonderful show.
