From her twitter, Katie isn't doing the Sadlers Wells shows - but starts as Maria at the first tour stop in Liverpool. Confusingly no one else is listed as doing the Sadler's Wells shows on the ATG site and Sadlers Wells has no cast list either.......
Unfortunately no one filmed Jessie being spectacular at her cabaret, but we do have Katie Hall being spectacular at the last Westendfest concert.
The theme was songs you would never be cast for. Someone jokingly suggested Katie Hall sing Gethsemane , so she did. Fortunately for the males involved, ALW didn't mean it when he said he might cast a female Jesus on Superstar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT2ot2M4MRs&feature=youtu.be
Katie Hall has just finished in Sweeney and is next playing in Fiddler on the Roof at the Grange Park Opera .4 JUne - 3 July Its located in the countryside, north of Portsmouth, and expensively expensive .
She's performing again with Bryn Terfel http://www.grangeparkopera.co.uk/whats-on/performance-details-page/?event_id=132
Hopefully she'll be back somewhere nearer soon. .
Katie Hall has been on the BBC with her sisters from Fiddler talking about the show and singing from it. She's on at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05s3qfm at 05-10 in.
Fiddler is also performing with Katie as Hodel at this year's proms concerts 25 July http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/efbfxj - which is much more affordable.
And Katie has moved in with a new flatmate - Lauren Samuels
Katie Hall has played Hodel at the Proms in Fiddler on the Roof.
The complete show is here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/efbfxj - in the embedded video - and rather good.
There's also a standalone track of Matchmaker, with Katie prominent, below
Katie Hall is taking the new musical she workshopped last year on to the stage - Schikaneder opens on Sept 30 and runs at least till the end of December. the bad news is its in Vienna. She's the only name there from the Brits in the workshops - but from the singing excerpts you can see why they have her .
Katie Hall features in a youtube with some of the music. The Musical is in German - but seemingly the english lyrics are better - which suggests it will come here at some point.
She talks about it at 2-24 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ChXWhRQ71M
and sings at 2-28 ,as few can :)
Katie Hall is next leading, as Laurey, in Oklahoma at the Grange Park Opera . https://grangeparkopera.co.uk/whats-on/performance-details-page/?event_id=3860. 8 dates from 7 June to 8 July.
Its very expensive again, and difficult to get to, unless you live nearby, or use their helicopter pad ! - but the cast is top knotch.
https://www.broadwayworld.com/westend/article/BWW-Review-OKLAHOMA-West-Horsley-Place-20180609 Hall's Laurey has the right balance of stubbornness and yearning innocence, such that her stringing along of Curly does not come across as overly mean. Her soprano tone soars over the orchestra and blends well with Lee's baritone, especially during their emotive duet "People Will Say We're in Love".

Especially as talented Katie Hall, who plays the tragic factory worker, sits alone on stage belting out a familiar tune we all know, I Dreamed a Dream.
Katie Hall continues to get great reviews for Les Mis.
https://georginabutler.co.uk/2019/05/18/review-les-miserables-milton-keynes-theatre-may-2019/ Katie Hall – who has previously performed at Milton Keynes Theatre in West Side Story (2014) and The Phantom of the Opera (2012) – gives a heart-breaking performance as desperate Fantine. Her vocals are crystal clear and earnestly conveyed, and her body language is equally expressive. Hall’s conviction is utterly indisputable when she sings Fantine’s anguished solo, I Dreamed A Dream – the lament that comes when Fantine is left alone, unemployed and destitute. This is the moment you can first expect to need a tissue, and there are plenty more tearjerker moments to come.
Katie gets the solo spot , singing some of I dreamed a dream, on the new epk of the new Les Miserables - advertising its arrival from December at the Sondheim (ex Queens) Theatre London. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=lDvrDosLIUk

She talks about it at 2-24

There's a review
http://www.broadwayworld.com/germany/article/BWW-Review-SCHIKANEDER-schillert-bei-der-Weltpremiere-in-Wien-20161004
Google translate mangles the relevant bits as
Among the supporting cast is especially Katie Hall emphasized. One might think Anna Maria, one of Emanuel's many affairs, perhaps would be a thankless role to public sympathy to win. She does however problem with wit, charm and a great voice.

to match him Katie Hall treats Laurey as something a good deal more complex than apple-pie.
http://musicaltheatrereview.com/oklahoma-grange-park-opera/
The cast is right on the money too with Katie Hall’s thrilling soprano as winsome Laurey a standout.
https://www.broadwayworld.com/westend/article/BWW-Review-OKLAHOMA-West-Horsley-Place-20180609
Hall's Laurey has the right balance of stubbornness and yearning innocence, such that her stringing along of Curly does not come across as overly mean. Her soprano tone soars over the orchestra and blends well with Lee's baritone, especially during their emotive duet "People Will Say We're in Love".

As time passes, Valjean meets Parisian grisette, Fantine - a beautiful young mother who leaves you heartbroken as she is forced into horrific levels of degradation to provide for her child.

Fantine, meanwhile, was depicted beautifully by the lovely Katie Hall, who had the audience in the palm of her hand; her gentle mannerisms and childlike features making her tragic tale all the more hard to bear.
https://georginabutler.co.uk/2019/05/18/review-les-miserables-milton-keynes-theatre-may-2019/
Katie Hall – who has previously performed at Milton Keynes Theatre in West Side Story (2014) and The Phantom of the Opera (2012) – gives a heart-breaking performance as desperate Fantine. Her vocals are crystal clear and earnestly conveyed, and her body language is equally expressive. Hall’s conviction is utterly indisputable when she sings Fantine’s anguished solo, I Dreamed A Dream – the lament that comes when Fantine is left alone, unemployed and destitute. This is the moment you can first expect to need a tissue, and there are plenty more tearjerker moments to come.
http://asmallmindatthetheatre.blogspot.com/2019/05/review-of-les-miserables-at-milton.html
Elsewhere, Katie Hall keeps the performance of total raw emotion as Fantine, her singing of the classic I Dreamed A Dream is one of the highlights of the evening and her work with Donnelly I suspect also leaves few eyes dry in the house.
