Peter Andre 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 said: “I have seen firsthand 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.”
Peter Andre will star in the experience for a limited run (at selected performances only) from 14 May - 23 July, with Sam Bailey starting performances on 14 May and forming part of the cast until 4 April 2027.
Managing Director of Mamma Mia! The Party for Pophouse Entertainment, Sophie Arendt, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Peter and Sam to the taverna. Peter’s decades of international success and natural stage charisma make him a perfect Nikos, while Sam’s powerhouse vocals and emotional connection with audiences will bring something truly special to the role of Debbie.
“It’s an incredibly exciting moment for the show. Our productions in London and Stockholm continue to go from strength to strength, welcoming guests from across the globe and building extraordinary momentum. As we look ahead to global expansion, this is the first of some exciting updates about the future of Mamma Mia! The Party, with more unforgettable moments, destinations and surprises on the horizon.”
