Mireia Mambo is playing Richie Walters in A Chorus Line.

Following its run at Leicester Curve in 2021, Nikolai Foster's revival of A Chorus Line has returned for a tour and London run at Sadler's Wells. With iconic music by Marvin Hamlisch, this production is choreographed by Ellen Kane. Mireia is making theatrical history as the first woman to play the role of Richie.

Most recently Mireia was in the ensemble of Jamie Lloyd’s revival of Sunset Boulevard (Savoy Theatre), having previously appeared in Lloyd's production of Evita (Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre).

Just a few of Mireia's other theatre credits include: Newsies (Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre), West Side Story (Curve Leicester), Hairspray (London Coliseum), Motown The Musical (Shaftesbury Theatre), Scaramouche (Teatre Victoria, BCN) and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (Theatre Royal Drury Lane) as well as Ragtime and A Midsummer Night's Dream (both at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre).

Additionally Mireia has starred in the Spanish tours of Sister Act as Deloris and The Bodyguard as Rachel Marron.

In this episode, Mireia discusses recreating the role of Richie, moving from Spain to the UK to pursue theatre, working with Jamie Lloyd twice and lots more along the way.

A Chorus Line runs at Sadler’s Wells until 25th August and tours until October. Visit www.achoruslinetour.com for info, tour dates and tickets.
