Grease victory
Mead is one of three performers who won West End roles on Saturday night.
Earlier in the evening, Danny Bayne and Susan McFadden were crowned the winners of ITV1’s Grease Is The Word.
The duo, who were also picked by a public phone vote, will take the lead roles of Danny and Sandy in a Piccadilly Theatre production of Grease starting on 8 August.
McFadden, 24, from Dublin, is the sister of former Westlife singer Brian McFadden.
She told presenter Zoe Ball: “I can’t wait. I’ve waited so long to get here.”
Bayne, 19, from Welling, south London, beat Anthony Kavanagh – who had two Top 10 hits in the 1990s under the name Kavana.
Any Dream Will Do and Grease Is The Word have been pitched against each other in a ratings battle.
But the BBC’s show has been the winner in the ratings so far, with 4.9 million watching last Saturday’s Any Dream Will Do compared with Grease is the Word’s 2.9 million viewers.
Booking has already opened for both productions
