Corbin Bleu is set to hit the stage this weekend with Dove Cameron as his leading lady in Mamma Mia at the Hollywood Bowl.
No stranger to the stage, Corbin will play Skye to Dove‘s Sophie in the production.
“When I first auditioned for the show, I asked who I would be playing opposite me, and even though they could not tell me at first, they told me she was someone I would really like,” Corbin shared with BWW.
After Corbin found out that it was Dove in the role of Sophie, he couldn’t have been more excited.
“I was thrilled,” he said. “I respect her and her talent very much.”
Mamma Mia debuts tonight at the Hollywood Bowl and will go on through Sunday, July 30th.
It was another High School Musical reunion at the Descendants 2 premiere!
Monique Coleman, Lucas Grabeel, Olesya Rulin and the ever hunky Corbin Bleu hit the red carpet in support of their fave director, Kenny Ortega, who helmed the sequel flick.
If you didn’t know, Corbin will also star with Dove Cameron this summer in Mamma Mia! at the Hollywood Bowl.
Lucas brought along his longtime love Emily Morris and sister Autumn, and Corbin stepped out with wife Sasha Clements and sisters Jag and Phoenix.
Dove Cameron and Corbin Bleu are set to take the stage during the Hollywood Bowl’s production of Mamma Mia!
Corbin will play Sky, Dove will play Sophie, Lea DeLaria will play Rosie, and Jennifer Nettles will play Donna. Jamie Camil was previously announced in the role of Sam.
The show will premiere on Friday, July 28, and will run that entire weekend.
Mamma Mia! was on Broadway for years and features the most famous songs from the group ABBA. Mamma Mia! was also turned into a movie back in 2008 with Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried. Tony Award-winner Kathleen Marshall will direct and choreograph the production.
Corbin Bleu suits up for opening night of his new Broadway musical, Holiday Inn, at Studio 54 in New York City on Thursday night (October 6).
The 27-year-old actor plays Ted in the musical, which centers on Jim, who leaves the bright lights of show business behind to settle down on his farmhouse in Connecticut, but he quickly discovers life isn’t the same without a bit of song and dance and that his farmhouse is boring.
Then, when he meets Linda, a spirited schoolteacher with talent, they turn the farmhouse into a fabulous inn with dazzling performances to celebrate each holiday, from Thanksgiving to the Fourth of July.
“I think the main intimidation was the dancing,” Corbin recently shared with EW about stepping into Fred Astaire‘s shoes. Fred played the role in the 1942 movie.
He added, “When you watch Fred dance, it makes everything look so easy. He just glides. And I think that was my main focus and goal with approaching the choreography, which was to make sure it was in my body enough and to make sure that it didn’t seem like it was work.”
