I guess she could. But maybe more suited to a more maturer role. And although the character of Sandy is only 16, many think of her as older, becuase of the actress in the film. So it's more of given that someone a bit older plays her.
I think as high school seniors that would make them 18 which is only 4 years younger than Lauren actually is - I think there is a huge difference in the maturity of the characters of Dorothy and Sandy.

Congratulations to Lauren it is a great achievement I am a huge fan of grease but I do think the current production is flagging in terms of quality of cast so hopefully Lauren will perk it up. Am I the only one who would have rather seen her as Rizzo - the "bitch" from Popular would have been great here!

I vote for Sandy! Though I'm sure she could be equally good as Rizzo, she fits Sandy better for me (and she's got two of the best songs in the show IMO).

PS Lauren has her own public site on Facebook now (well I assume it's her, there's a post from Susan Marshall on it ):

I'm also told she is on Twitter but I don't use it so not sure what her username is.

I was at West End Live and saw Mamma Mia so must have seen him, though it didn't occur to me at all at the time. I'm not sure I got any good photos of Mamma Mia (my camera's on the blink at the moment, so between it randomly deciding whether or not to switch on and trying to conserve the battery for later shows, my photo taking was very random!) but I'll have to have a look when I get home. Mamma Mia were good though, as energetic as always!

I enjoyed watching Grease as well, thinking all the time "Aw, it's nice Siobhan finally made it and I get to see her briefly, but yay, it'll be Lauren there soon!"

Hey everyone, incase you haven't seen our thread on the main otr board.

We are trying to get the BBC to release otr on DVD because this series was so good and kept alot of us captivated for weeks. It is simply too good to be left on the editing room floor never to be seen again.

If you think the same please show your support and sign our petition. We are trying to get everyone involved regardless of who their favourite was on the show.

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/otrdvd/

Thanks.

PS Congrats to Lauren on her new role.

When I get back into the UK in November - I used to go to Hinckley Speech & Drama Studio with Lauren back in the late 90s/early 00s so obviously this is great news, and about time our little town had something to shout about!

And since I haven't posted in here yet - that editing to make her look arrogant... yeah, whatever. She's not like that at all in real life - my best mate went out with her for about a year so I should know!

My old school's doing The Wizard of Oz this year It's typical as about three years ago my best friend and I begged to do it (We had a bit of an obsession with Wicked!)! And one of the girls playing Dorothy (they're alternating) is called Bronte! And the other's called Claire, which works for the top 20!
