The next production currently announced for the Novello Theatre is West End long-runner Mamma Mia! which moves to the venue from its home of 7 years, the Prince of Wales.
Sad news, having seen this brilliant production in Regent's Park last summer, but I have cheered myself up by booking for the last night !! - Jason Dowler
