ITV has confirmed that they are launching a new talent show to cast the lead roles in ABBA musical Mamma Mia! at the Novello Theatre in London. The news was originally rumoured way back in September. Titled Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream, the TV entertainment show will see hopefuls from around the UK compete for the roles of Sophie and Sky in the hit West End musical. The 8 part series for ITV1 is produced by Fremantle company Thames, who also produce The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent. The series will be set on a Greek Island, to recreate the setting of the actual show, and ITV has said that throughout the series "musical theatre hopefuls will be put through their paces as they navigate their way through challenges, masterclasses, and performances, mentored by guest industry stars". The competition will culminate in a live grand-finale, broadcast from a theatre in London’s West End, where two winners will win the roles of Sophie and Sky in the musical. The show resurrects a similar format used by past BBC talent shows that searched for West End stars, including Any Dream Will Do casting for Joseph, I'd Do Anything casting for Oliver! and Over The Rainbow, casting for The Wizard of Oz. Mamma Mia! in the West End recently saw a new cast join the show including Meg Hateley – daughter of West End star Linzi Hateley (Mamma Mia!, Carrie, Joseph and the Tenchincolor Dreamcoat)- and Miles Henderson as Sophie and Sky. Mazz Murray continues to star in the show as Donna. Judy Craymer, the stage show's creator and global producer, and who will be co-executive producing the TV show, said in a press statement: "Mamma Mia! has always been a show that has encouraged young actors and given opportunities to those making their stage debuts - just as our current Sophie and Sky in London (Meg Hateley and Miles Henderson) are making their West End debuts - so it feels the perfect fit for a TV show that will seek out new talent for musical theatre. In the lead-up to the celebrations for the stage musical’s 25th birthday in 2024, we're really looking forward to working with Thames and ITV on this show and involving our well-loved musical as much as possible in the programme." Amelia Brown, Managing Director of Thames, said: “The excitement we have for making this show is like no other - it’s a dream come true for so many of us at Thames. Merging the global brand of Mamma Mia! and all the talent at Littlestar with the power behind the talent show juggernauts such as Britain’s Got Talent will mean it’s a show that can’t be missed.” Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment Comissioning at ITV said: “Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream is everything we could want in an entertainment show - legendary music, an iconic West End theatre show, high energy performances, and a brand new search for talent, set against the backdrop of a gorgeous island.” Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream is executive produced by Amelia Brown, Charlie Irwin and Ashley Whitehouse for Thames (a Fremantle label) and Judy Craymer for Littlestar. The show is commissioned by Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment Commissioning at ITV, Lily Wilson, Commissioning Editor for ITV and Louise Major, Commissioning Editor for ITV.

Rumours are swirling TV land that ITV in the UK is planning to launch a brand new TV talent show centred around hit West End musical Mamma Mia! The ITV show will be based on its "Any Dream Will Do" entertainment format, in which Andrew Lloyd Webber searched for a star for his revival of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The success of that show spawned further TV series including "How do you Solve a Problem like Maria?" where Lloyd Webber searched for a star for his Palladium revival of The Sound of Music; ," I’d Do Anything", searching for a Nancy for Cameron Mackintosh's revival of Oliver!; and "Superstar", in which Lloyd Webber cast the lead for his revival of Jesus Christ Superstar. The eight-part series will see a panel of judges and the audience at home select the next stars of Mamma Mia! the musical, from a group of hopeful contestants. The smash-ht stage musical based on the songs of ABBA also announced today that it is extending its run at the Novello Theatre until September 2023, and that a new cast is joining the show this October. The TV talent show will be produced by Thames, part of TV production giant Fremantle, which also produces Britain's Got Talent. A TV insider spoke to the Sun newspaper (see link below), saying that: “ITV are clearly riding the wave of renewed interest in all things ABBA, not to mention a renewed interest in hit formats of old. This has been seen as an obvious choice for a reboot for years, but producers were waiting for the right musical and right moment.” The new talent show is riding on an ABBA high at the moment, with Mamma Mia! still going strong in the West End, plus ABBA's extraordinary new show ABBA Voyage attracting a huge amount of interest. The TV talent show is rumoured to be airing on ITV next year. Book tickets to Mamma Mia! at the Novello Theatre in London Book tickets to ABBA Voyage in London

The show will have its world premiere at ABBA Arena, a state-of-the-art 3,000 capacity arena located in London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, designed by Stufish Entertainment Architects.

Speedy overviews and reviews of what's on in London by our editor, Paul Raven MAMMA MIA! 9 September 2014 "Went back to see Mamma Mia! this month to see how it's doing. And great to find the show in such good shape – which isn’t always the case for long-runners. The new cast have brought a fabulous energy – great credit to the production team. Particularly impressed with Alice Stokoe as Sophie (clearly very talented), and Rebecca Lock and Kim Ismay (their chemistry, talent, skill and fun is a joy to watch and in a new show would be winning them awards). The show clearly relies on an international audience now for its West End run (the theatre does well to ram home the no phones and photos, but I wish no talking was added to the list!). I’d also forgotten how fabulously camp it is! The audience – and I – loved it, which is no mean feat for a show this far into its run."
