West End vs Broadway: Mamma Mia! – here we go again with Mazz Murray and Christine Sherrill

Earlier this month, Mamma Mia! made its return to the Broadway stage for the first time in almost a decade and we thought we’d celebrate the occasion by dedicating our next episode of West End vs Broadway to the ABBA-infused juggernaut.

We’ve paired up long-time Mamma Mia! family members Mazz Murray and Christine Sherrill, who play Donna Sheridan in the London and New York productions, respectively, and they were anything but tight-lipped when it came to backstage secrets, audition experiences and even personal stylists.

Take a chance on our latest installment by watching the video below:

Mamma Mia! celebrated its 25th anniversary on 6 April 2024, making it the third-longest-running musical in West End history. Since its premiere in 1999, it has become a global sensation, with over 70 million people having seen it worldwide. The musical has grossed over £4.5 billion at the box office and inspired two successful films.

The London cast also includes Izi Maxwell as Sophie, Ben Irish as Sky, Kate Graham as Tanya, Nicola-Dawn Brook as Rosie, Christopher Dickins as Harry, Luke Jasztal as Sam, and Stephen Beckett as Bill. Natalie Langston continues to play Donna at certain performances.

Harriet Samuels takes on the role of Ali, while Zaynah Ahmed plays Lisa. Jamie Landmann and Thomas Walton play Eddie and Pepper, respectively.

Completing the ensemble are Franky Attard, Matthew Barrow, Jack Bromage, Maddy Cameron, Mia Anthony Coffield, Dennis Cousins, Timmy Driscoll, Andrew Gallo, Lauren Hall, Lawrence Guntert, Samantha Ivey, Genevieve Jameson, Flyn Mullins, Hayley-Jo Murphy, Emma Odell, Tom Parsons, Adam Scotland, Jonah Sercombe, Ella Tweed and Maisie Waller.

Produced by Judy Craymer, Richard East, and Björn Ulvaeus for Littlestar in association with Universal, Mamma Mia! features ABBA’s timeless hits, written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, and the story by Catherine Johnson. The show is directed by Phyllida Lloyd, with choreography by Anthony Van Laast, and design by Mark Thompson.
