I was in the OTR audience on Saturday, and we were instructed to watch the film of her performance and provide reaction noise, so the clapping along etc was actually Saturdays audience watching the VT. If you watch closely you can see that the audience watching Tamsin isn't clapping , but you can hear loud clapping (that was us!)
I believe she has been ill last week, but I'm not sure if she was when she recorded that segment. She clearly appeared in Sweet Charity on opening night, but was off the next day (Wednesday) when I went. Tiffany Graves played Charity and was excellent.
I agree that Tamsin seemed a little lacklustre, but its a very busy number with a lot of choreography. Must be hard to do out of the context of the show. Don't forget, all the OTR routines the girls do are arranged for TV. I think she danced really well, and none of the Dorothys would have been up to that standard, even if they could have managed the vocal.”

Thanks marks thespot for posting, that is most interesting. Just goes to show the lengths the BBC will go too, to fool the viewers.
They underestimate what a clever bunch we are and will soon see through any attempts at deception.
