Jamie Carragher and his family celebrated the first official opening night of The Hunger Games on Stage last night. The former Liverpool FC defender and wife Nicola Carragher have been vocal about their support for daughter Mia, as she takes on the biggest role of her career so far. Mia has taken on a leading role in the stage production of The Hunger Games . The adaptation is based on the book series, written by Suzanne Collins. The daughter of Liverpool FC legend Jamie Carragher and wife Nicola, has been slowly but surely emerging onto the film scene with various projects and the role of The Hunger Games' Katniss Everdeen marks her biggest challenge to date. The production is taking place in purpose-built, state-of-the-art venue, Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre. It will be the first ever theatre adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ internationally acclaimed book and the subsequent movie series. The Hunger Games on Stage follows the journey of fearless heroine Katniss Everdeen , played by Mia, as she defies the odds in a gripping tale of courage, hope and unbreakable human spirit. Yesterday, Mia shared a photo of the London Underground's service information board to Instagram, which had written on it "The Hunger Games on Stage" and further details about the first-of-its-kind show. Carragher shared a family picture on the red carpet for The Hunger Games on Stage last night, alongside his mum and Nicola. It comes after the football pundit and his wife watched their daughter take on the role of Katniss Everdeen last month. Nicola captioned a post at the time: "Yesterday was a good day, watching my girl who is an absolute superstar in the evening, like I have no words. "Knowing my boy came on in the day after two months out recovering from injury and operation. You both will always be the greatest thing I have ever done in my life, my heart can't deal." Liverpool FC legend Jamie Carragher admitted he was "a little bit nervous" ahead of his daughter's debut in the huge new show . Jamie Carragher spoke to the ECHO about his and wife Nicola's pride and how he's feeling as his daughter takes on the role of Katniss Everdeen in the highly anticipated show. He said: "I'm a little bit nervous because, you know, it's your daughter, it's your baby. But I am so excited for her, she's put so much work in. They've been rehearsing for two or three months now and she's been down in London on her own. "We've been getting down to see her when we can. It's been full on, they're not leaving the theatre until 10 o'clock just to make sure it's right. "That's the name of the game, isn't it? That's the game that she is in. As I've said, she's put the work in, now go and enjoy it - be Katniss." Despite playing in front of thousands during his professional football career, the former Reds defender star says he has only given his daughter advice and support "as her dad" ahead of her starring role. Both the Sky Sports pundit's children are thriving in their career as James has followed in his dad's footsteps as a footballer. The centre half plays for Wigan and Malta.
