Mamma Mia

The success of the current touring production also rests heavily on the strength of its cast, whose performances bring both humour and heart to the show. The company works together brilliantly, creating the warm and chaotic family atmosphere that makes Mamma Mia so appealing. Every performer seems completely invested in the joy of the production, and that enthusiasm quickly spreads to the audience.

Particular praise must go to Jenn Griffin as Donna, who delivers a performance full of emotional honesty and powerhouse vocals. Donna can easily become an over-the-top character, but this portrayal balances comedy with vulnerability, especially during songs such as “The Winner Takes It All” and “Slipping Through My Fingers.” The emotional weight she brings to these moments gives the musical a surprising depth beneath all the glitter and humour.


Sarah Earnshaw as Tanya and Rosie Glossop as Rosie are equally entertaining, providing many of the show’s biggest laughs. Their comic timing is excellent, and together they create a believable long-standing friendship with Donna that feels natural rather than forced. Musical numbers like “Dancing Queen” and “Chiquitita” become real highlights because of the chemistry between the three women.
