How do you approach creating costumes for this type of show?
Directors have a clear vision of what they want any show to look like and it’s my job to create that look on time and within budget. This type of show is more buying and sourcing than creating, which in itself can be a challenge for such a large cast, creating the look of Summer in the Greek Isles in the middle of the Australian Winter isn’t always easy.
What is your favourite ABBA song?
Too many to mention, I grew up with ABBA. Perhaps now having girls of my own it’s Slipping Through My Fingers.
Who has inspired you the most personally or professionally?
No question, my Dad. Sadly we lost him many years ago, but his attitude and work ethic is what helps me both personally and professionally.
If you could send out a tweet that would reach the entire world, what would it be?
Don’t judge and treat people badly just because they appear different to you, we are all a mixture of blood and bones underneath. Treat people as you wish to be treated, what goes around comes around.
What is the best piece of advice you have ever been given?
What is meant for you, will not go past you.
Mamma Mia
by Catherine Johnson, based on the songs of ABBA composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus

Featuring hit after hit from the incredible songs of ABBA including Dancing Queen, Voulez Vous, S.O.S, Take a Chance On Me and The Winner Takes It All, MAMMA MIA tells the hilarious and heart-warming story of a young woman’s search for her birth father. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago.
A mother. A daughter. Three possible dads. And a trip down the aisle you’ll never forget! MAMMA MIA is the perfect musical for the whole family.
