Ann originated the role of Grandma in the show when it opened in the West End and will now be replaced by Gillian Elisa who alternated the role.
Gillian said: "I first joined the cast in 2011 and have loved every moment working on this special show. It’s a real privilege to take this iconic role on full time.”
