But she would have made a wonderful Christine

Can't she get a time turner and do Grease, Sound of Music and Phantom simultaneously

WOW! Phantom would have been epic! Glad she turned down SOM!

Any1 know if u buy tickets 2 c grease are u guaranteed Lauren will def be in it or will she be off certain nights?? Like I only wanna c it wen shes in it lol!!

Of course!

Some theatres announce holidays, but if I've wanted to see a particular performer I've rung the box office before booking (or if it's not likely to be a sell-out show, just turned up on the evening and checked to make sure they're not ill or anything - also got good seats at reasonable prices that way).

Problem is some shows don't advertise holiday dates and those that do don't always have them for everyone. Box offices sometimes know. Ticket agencies rarely. Some shows are on http://www.westendunderstudies.com/Site/By_Show.html - but not Grease

Some shows have alternates on some days a week - most announce this.Don't think Grease does - it certainly doesn't announce it.

The best thing would be for someone to ask Lauren to post her holidays on twitter or somewhere else if she is allowed to.

Even then you have sickness - and entire shows seem to catch each other's germs - and you have accidents like poor Tamzin Outhwaite who sems to have hit herself in the eye with her baton in her baton dancing routine and says on twitter she looks like she's been battered and can't see to dance .......nothing is guaranteed .

The upside with Grease is thats its easier to get tickets for than many shows - theres been empty seats when I have been which you won't find if you go down the road to Les Mis .....

I have been to Grease twice hoping to see Siobhan and had Faye the understudy both times...........

Very strange because I think Siobhan the current Sandy also turned down the SOM tour..........
