She's just sung in what sounds like a Les Mis montage (including On My Own?) at the Classic Brits awards 2011, which she says on twitter will be on ITV on May 29 2230.
She's been interviewed there with Alfie Boe http://vimeo.com/23681013
There she mentions that she will be doing some of Alfie Boe's concerts with him - presume some of the ones between December and Feb - no details yet which.

And a recent One Day More with Sam sounding good

Not sure if she's doing the whole tour - one suggestion on whatsonstage its till June - worth checking.
Her last outing - interesting to see what she can do now.

That's great news; thanks so much for posting. If she's in it till June, then she should be at Edinburgh. I'll check out further.

Can't find any Oliver youtubes yet . But here's a new Les Mis one. A little fall of rain.

There's also a lot of pictures and a brief video under sights and sounds on the tour site.

As Long As He Needs me. Great accent too.

Indeed Its mega. Cameron seems to have come on stage personally at last night's Oliver to announce it as a surprise....
There's a report on broadwayworld and a second with a photo of Sam and Frances Rufelle - who is also in the film as chief lovely lady with at least a couple of other top former Eponines as her lovely ladies.

No idea what it means for the Oliver tour - the film is filming from early spring I think.....
Well done Sam.
Sam on the bBC this morning. With the moment she finds out about the movie.
They are still working out when she switches from being Nancy on tour.
Yes wish they would make it clear. I would do the 4 hr treck to Southampton but probably not if she's away filming then.
Sam - as long a E needs me + reprise. Accent Pat Butcher would be proud of.
Given that I doubt if Sam has even filmed her scenes yet, I'd take that with a heavy pinch of salt!
She's only leaving Oliver next week or so, so I imagine they haven't..
They have been filming other bits already - there's some leaked pictures of Valjean in action and the Lovely Ladies scene involving Frances Ruffelle and Nancy Sullivan and other Eponines and Les|Mis graduates has been shot this week going by twitter.
Re Eponine some 25th anniversary rehearsals videos have appeared with shots of Sam and some of OMO.

There's also some shots of Katie Hall. There's a certain symmetry there Sam and Katie - both are in the 25th Les Mis show and now leading the two big 2012 tours of Oliver and Phantom. respectively. Both are 21.
Oliver promo video - with Sam. No news yet when/if she comes back as Nancy?.
From her twitter Sam is going back to do 2 weeks of the Edinburgh run. Someone asked her which two but she hasn't yet answered - you may need to know that answer?

They have been filming lots of Les Mis - which must have been interesting for her as the bulk of the cast is made up of past cast members from Les Mis including her cast and other people from the West End.
