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!”
