The Cast of Mamma Mia! beat out their Theatreland rivals to win the second annuAl West End Eurovision - a song contest to raise money for TheatreMAD.

They took on their counterparts at La Cage Aux Folles, We Will Rock You, Billy Elliot, Wicked, Dirty Dancing, The Lion King and The Phantom of the Opera, with each cast performing a past Eurovision hit.

Mamma Mia!'s song selection, Las Vegas, didn't prove that popular in 2005, when Sweden's Martin Stenmarck finished 19th, but picked up the most votes from a panel of their colleagues, The Audience, and a judging jury comprising Toby Anstis, Sally Ann Triplett, Arlene Phillips (a late replacement for the injured Graham Norton) and 1997 Eurovision winner Katrina Leskanich.
