This week we chat to the most iconic mother/daughter duo set to hit the Gold Coast stage this month! That’s right, it’s Sophie and Donna Sheridan from the smash-hit musical, ‘Mamma Mia’. Madeline Grice who plays the girl with golden hair joins us in the studio along with her stage mum, Donna, played by Australian and UK theatre royalty, Jayde Westaby. Does your mother know about this episode of the Play Haus? Because you definitely don’t want it to slip through your fingers. Tune in now!

Scene 24 unravels the name of the game, with insight into what it was like auditioning and preparing for Matt Ward Entertainment’s latest production. At two very different stages of their theatrical career, Jayde and Madeline tell us about their insecurities starting out in the arts and the setbacks/successes they navigated in an industry that is so unlike any other career path. We hear all about the online audition process to find Sophie Sheridan and what it’s like prepping for a musical with a very short rehearsal period. Jayde also touches on her experience performing at the iconic The Star Gold Coast. Filled with ABBA-music puns, life advice and fun, this is an episode for any Mamma Mia fan!
