Tobias Turley wins ITV’s Mamma Mia! I Have a
Dream public vote to play the role of Sky in the
West End
Following the televised competition, rising West End star Tobias Turley, represented by BBA Management, has won the public vote for ITV’s Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream alongside Stevie Doc. The live final took place at the Novello Theatre yesterday with Tobias singing his heart out to land one of the most sought-after leading man roles in the West End. He has danced, sung and acted his way through challenges, songs and sand to find his Sophie to whisk down the aisle.
This marks the start of a hugely promising career for the young talent who will be thanking audiences for taking a chance on him. Following his graduation in musical theatre from Guildford School of Acting, he performed the role of Kurt in Heathers The Musical (The Other Palace) and he is raring to take on his next challenge performing in the global smash-hit Mamma Mia! as Sky.
Tobias Turley comments, I genuinely have no words, I’m speechless. I feel so grateful to everyone at home who voted for me, and to everyone who has worked on this show for always being so kind to me. This has been the best experience of my life and I am so thankful, it really means the world.
Bronia Buchanan, agency director, comments, Tobias Turley is a rising star, talented, dedicated, hard-working, kind, compassionate and intelligent; it is an incredible achievement to win this role in Mamma Mia by public vote.
The much-loved new show was hosted by presenter and Radio DJ Zoe Ball over the last few months on ITV. The judging panel consisted of comedian and TV personality Alan Carr, singer songwriter Jessie Ware, WhatsOnStage and Olivier Award winner Amber Riley and Samantha Barks, star of Frozen.
