Notes

Reviews for Sophie in Mamma Mia! (2022) - "Bell has a gorgeous openness and killer smile to bedrock a marvellously enjoyable performance. The depth of her work is perhaps best shown in Slipping Through My Fingers, where her presence adds another level to a delightfully emotional moment. Though there are no artificialities, like lighting changes to make the space smaller, the intimacy between mother and daughter narrows the audience vision to genuine feelings and rapport. Bell is the glue that holds Mamma Mia together in hope, but, as her little white lie in inviting her possible fathers has impacts that were unpredicted, Bell, with superb singing and acting, gives her character a wrenching sense of loss and lack of control." (Reviews by Judith) - "Louise Symes and Courtney Bell reprise the mother and daughter roles of Donna and Sophie. Lithe and petite, but with powerful voices that belie their stature, they inhabit these roles with exuberant joy." (Stage Whispers) - "Courtney Bell finds both the naivety and wistfulness of Sophie in her search for her father – and her concern at the Pandora’s box she has opened by inviting the three men mentioned in her mother’s diary to her wedding. From her opening “I Have a Dream”, she takes Sophie through a prolific number of scenes, songs and routines with beguiling vivacity and belief."
