WATCH: Jess will be our Sophie as Mamma Mia hits Southsea
  • last year
It’s a fabulous way to start her career, with Mamma Mia! effectively her first big professional job – after the frustration of graduating into Covid.
Covid and all the lockdowns proved a way to test Jess Michelmore’s resolve about entering so competitive and so demanding an industry. But Jess’s resolve withstood everything that Covid could throw at it and now she’s on the road with the show until next January.
The next stop along the way is The Kings Theatre in Southsea (Friday, May 19-Saturday, May 27) – and the crowds, as ever, will lap it up. Set on a Greek island paradise, Mamma Mia offers a story of love, friendship and identity all told through the timeless songs of Abba.
Sophie’s quest to discover the father she’s never known brings her mother face to face with three men from her distant romantic past on the eve of a wedding they’ll never forget. And Jess, our Sophie in the show, is loving it.
