The producers of Mamma Mia have announced full casting for the exclusive UK Summer Season of the show's International Tour at the Blackpool Opera House, opening in June 2014. This will be the only UK venue outside of London to host the worldwide hit musical next year.

Real-life husband and wife, Richard Standing and Sara Poyzer, will rejoin the cast of the Mamma Mia International Tour, with Sara playing Donna Sheridan and Richard playing Sam Carmichael. Sara also played Donna in the West End production of Mamma Mia and made her West End debut in Billy Elliot.

Mamma Mia is Judy Craymer’s ingenious vision of staging the story-telling magic of ABBA’s timeless songs with an enchanting tale of family and friendship unfolding on a Greek island paradise. To date, it has been seen by more than 54 million people in 38 productions in 14 different languages grossing more than $2 billion at the box office. Mamma Mia The Movie is the highest grossing musical film and one in four households in the UK has the DVD, which is now Amazon UK’s biggest selling DVD ever.

The Mamma Mia International Tour is produced by Judy Craymer, Richard East & Björn Ulvaeus for Littlestar in association with Universal, Stage Entertainment and NGM.
