Jessie at her cabaret looking very unlike her last two stage roles, and Rachel there dressed and looking like her character in Farragut North, was surprisng. Niamh as a blonde is even more of a change ......The wonders of acting.
There's also a couple of, beautiful, other songs I haven't heard before on the sound cloud player in that interview link - Circus Boy and Go Your Own Way :):)
Niamh had another visit from ALW at the Beautiful Game before it closed.
She's currently involved with the Musical Theatre for Youth (MT4Uth) production of Evita in the Titantic Quarter in Belfast - with Nicholas Lloyd Webber. They talk about it and auditions for it at 6-40 in. http://player.u.tv/programme/The-Magazine/469361
Its now off then to Hong Kong 24 Sept - 26 October, and then Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 18-21 December. No idea if Niamh is staying with it for the Asian stops or if they may add even more , but they did fly her out to Hong Kong to help do the promotion for it which might suggest she is.
Unless Ashley has left, we now have two Nancy's in the same show.
Niamh has done a radio interview about Mamma Mia with another cast member and 2 musicians . It starts at 2-20-20 in , and runs to just before 3hrs in. Niamh seems to be doing the next overseas stages of the tour, and there may be more stops planned after that.
Niamh and the Mamma Mia world tour have moved on to Hong Kong, and have now moved on again to Singapore.. Niamh had a break in New York, and saw Rachel post Blackpool https://twitter.com/NiamhPerry/media sept 17 , and in Australia post Hong kong.
The Mamma Mia tour is on the move again. its now done Dubai
it looks like there's some cast changes going on,as its been out for a year. Niamh is still with it and is listed for Liverpool and Eire and N Ireland. . Next is Liverpool then Johannesburg.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqPu8ZAYi3w has Dancing Queen from Dubai - although you need a telescope, and to know Niamh should be the one - in the white top, dead centre
Niamh is very special in this. She commands the stage and keeps Sophie's story at the forefront - instead of letting it get submerged by Donna, as often happens. She sings beautifully, plays the character and story convincingly throughout, and she's a pretty nifty dancer these days too. Well worth seeing.
Niamh is now doing some publicity for the Irish part of the tour. Next is South Africa.
The tour iteself has filled in more gaps - adding Amman, Tel Aviv, Trieste and Lisbon to the 2015 menu.
It now goes to
Johannesburg , SA 24 /3 - 26/4 2015
Amman , Jordan 14 - 16 May 2015
Belfast , 16 - 20 June 2015
Dublin 23 /6 - 4 /72015
Derry, 7 - 11 July 2015
Ostend , Belgium 21 /7 - 9 /8 2015
Tel Aviv, Israel 20/ 8 - 5/9 2015
Milan , 24 /11- 6 / 12 2015
Triese, Italy 9 - 13 December 2015
Lisbon , Portugal 12 - 17 January 2016
No idea how long Niamh is staying for - but I don't see them finding a better Sophie. Although it would be nice to see a Nancy in the West End again soon.
Next year the UK tour stop seems to be Bristol.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06ckvws
Niamh is in the Battle of Britain 75 show on Radio 2's Friday Night is Music Night this Friday 18th. 2000. Pixie Lott is also there. Its also on the BBC Red button and showing at 300 cinemas from 1930.

There's a youtube with shots of Niamh - she's very prominent in the musical - she has lots of acting and is in 15 songs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zahQhkhPAcQ&feature=youtu.be
And there's lots of great reviews of Niamh - with a few pictures

Its now off then to Hong Kong 24 Sept - 26 October, and then Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 18-21 December. No idea if Niamh is staying with it for the Asian stops or if they may add even more , but they did fly her out to Hong Kong to help do the promotion for it which might suggest she is.
Unless Ashley has left, we now have two Nancy's in the same show.
Niamh of course played Sophie initially in 2009/10.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uASsOVwMXYU
Its fitting to have her back in the show - as they still use her cast's video with lots of her, and her photo in their promotional materialn- even in New York https://twitter.com/NiamhPerry/status/471240806154899456/photo/1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV7dnw_rJVM
Also reminds you that not only can Niamh still play very young , she's younger than 3 Dorothies, and only a year or two older than most of them.........
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35cTvQ-bF6o&feature=youtu.be
She is also up and running in Mamma Mia Blackpool
There's a youtube with bits of Niamh
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKfywgZeKKI

She's also been interviewed by The Stage about her career http://www.colekitchenn.com/store/files/Screen_Shot_2014-06-05_at_11.43.15.png
Niamh sings an acoustic Whats the Name of the Game at about 2-37 in

Niamh and the Mamma Mia world tour have moved on to Hong Kong, and have now moved on again to Singapore.. Niamh had a break in New York, and saw Rachel post Blackpool https://twitter.com/NiamhPerry/media sept 17 , and in Australia post Hong kong.
The Hong Kong publicity features her a lot.

http://www.mamma-mia.com/internationalTour/
its off to Kuala Lumpur 18-21 Dec
and now Dubai 2-10 Jan 2015.
and then Liverpool 20 feb - 14 March:):)
Folowed by Johannesburg 24 March -19 April
and exotic Ostend 21 July - 19 August
No idea if that is really the end. and there's some gaps they might also use there
Niamh is listed as being there for Liverpool (though Ashley isn't) http://www.westendframe.com/2014/11/casting-announced-for-mamma-mias-run-in.html Looks like a day trip to liverpool may be needed
Now what we need is confirmation of what Jessie is doing in 2015 - one rumour says its TV and a very long book...........
There's a look at the actual show with Niamh
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58laYVgzgmM or with better picture.- but less downloadable

http://www.millenniumforum.co.uk/content/mamma-mia-smash-hit-musical
it looks like there's some cast changes going on,as its been out for a year. Niamh is still with it and is listed for Liverpool and Eire and N Ireland. . Next is Liverpool then Johannesburg.
The new news is that they have now added Italy to the tour - Milan, 24 Nov -6 Dec . no word if Niamh is staying that long - but you can see the incentive. No idea if that's the last stop, or there's more to come - there's another big gap before that now.
http://www.mamma-mia.com/internationalTour/mammamia_internationalTour_tickets_Milan.asp
There's more great Niamh reviews from Dubai

Mamma Mia has now left Liverpool. Gathering more really good reviews.
http://www.thepublicreviews.com/mamma-mia-liverpool-empire/
Niamh Perry shines bright and radiently in the role of Sophie
http://www.chesterchronicle.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/review-mamma-mia-liverpool-empire-8725422
Niamh Perry was a charming and naive Sophie who manipulates her three 'dads' beautifully.
http://musicaltheatrereview.com/mamma-mia-liverpool-empire/
Niamh Perry continues to shine in the role of Sophie, a vibrant and confdent performance that is full of depth and nuance
Niamh is very special in this. She commands the stage and keeps Sophie's story at the forefront - instead of letting it get submerged by Donna, as often happens. She sings beautifully, plays the character and story convincingly throughout, and she's a pretty nifty dancer these days too. Well worth seeing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61L3FjavRV0
The news from Niamh's twitter is that , understandably, she's not doing the Mamma Mia UK tour next year too......
