Hateley previously undertook a two-year stint in the show from March 2007. On Oct. 24, she completed her fourth return run as Roxie Hart in the West End production of Chicago. After making her professional debut at the age of 17 in the title role of the original Royal Shakespeare Company of the ill-fated musical Carrie in 1988 that subsequently transferred to Broadway's Virginia Theatre, she became a leading lady of the London stage, where her major roles have included Eponine in Les Miserables, the Narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Rizzo in Grease, the RSC's production of The Secret Garden (first at Stratford-upon-Avon, then in the West End) and Mrs. Banks in the original production of Mary Poppins at the Prince Edward Theatre.
The cast of Mamma Mia! also currently features Katy Secombe as Rosie and Jane Gurnett as Tanya, with Norman Bowman as Sam Carmichael, Paul Ryan as Harry Bright, Christopher Hollis as Bill Austin, Oliver Hembrough as Sky, Jodie Read as Ali, Laura Selwood as Lisa, Ben Heathcote as Pepper and Sam McKay as Eddie. At certain performances the role of Donna Sheridan will be played by Melissa Jacques.
The production is currently booking to Feb. 1, 2011. To book tickets, contact the box office on 0844 412 2962, or visit www.mamma-mia.com
