And I’m looking forward to welcoming Alexandra and Lee to the convent so that they can be part of it too!”

Lee Mead expressed his excitement about joining the cast: “I’m beyond thrilled to be taking over the role of Eddie in this wonderful show with such a talented cast! I can remember first seeing the show back in 2009 at the Palladium and thinking how much fun it was. Summer 2024 looks like it’s going to be an exciting one!”

The musical, which has been a hit with audiences for its humour and heartwarming message of friendship, sisterhood and music, is based on the iconic movie. It tells the story of a disco diva whose life takes an unexpected turn when she witnesses a murder and is placed in protective custody in a convent.
