Lauren Samuels has scored with her next role. She's been cast in the Keira Knightley role of Jules, in the new musical Bend it Like Beckham.
http://www.westendframe.com/2015/01/...d-it-like.html
http://www.whatsonstage.com/london-t...aign=09jan2015

it starts on 15 May at the Phoenix Theatre in the Charing cross Road.

http://www.phoenixtheatrelondon.co.u...-like-beckham/

You may recall that Sam Barks and Siobhan Dillon both workshopped this role.

Next what Jessie did next...

Bend it Like Beckham has kicked off and has finally frozen the format - after 4 weeks of exhausting previews and changes. Its fun and got a good reception when I went Hopefully enough people will go and see it. Lauren is great as Jules - she's got a good character to play, quite a lot of comedy and some songs to make a mark in. She's looking very fit, sporting a range of sports bras, and demonstrating one armed pushups. she also has a new haircut https://twitter.com/Laurensamuels88/...731328/photo/1

There's some sightings of Lauren here - though bizarrely they seem to want to publicise the director and composer more than the songs in their advertising.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl3uxNmFlh8
and a team photo

There's some of Lauren singing something completely different from 2014 - Let Me Be Your Star with Jodie Jacobs here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrhRco-lwu0

Bend it , with Lauren, is one of at least 3 musicals on BBC Children In Need this year - presumably late after their evening show - and theirs is a longer show than most. This says they are the closing act.

Bend it Like Beckham closes March 5 - which is the end of the cast's contract. Lauren is in India usng up her remaining leave till - but should then be there until the show ends . Well worth a look, sounding great and looking slick at the moment.

Laurens cabaret has sold out.

Her next big news is that she's in La Ronde at the new Bunker theatre, near London bridge 13 feb - 11 march

http://www.whatsonstage.com/london-t...nde_42502.html

https://www.bunkertheatre.com/whats-on/la-ronde

https://www.instagram.com/p/BOCUMBUj...aurensamuels88

Worth seeing more than once - as the actors play the roles randomly - so there's 3000 combinations of the casting -

This is Lauren's first move into playing in a play, rather than a musical
