Jess has tweeted that she's in Mamma Mia till June - don't know date - but as she started on June 10, cast change should be the Saturday before that , or just possibly the one after.

She may be leaving, or not , or doesn't know yet, or can't say - but if you want to see her - before the June cast change may be an idea.

There seems to be a big cast change at Mamma Mia, and someone else is listed as the next Ali - this suggests Jess is leaving, or less likely, changing role. Best to catch her before 7 June if you want to see her.

She's singing briefly in the ident youtube for Mamma Mia's Westend Eurovision entry
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWPGl...ature=youtu.be
The show is on on May 22 at the dominion theatre.

Jessica Daley is leaving Mamma Mia this week (7th) at the cast change.

She was part of the co-winning Mamma Mia team for Westend Eurovision where West End show casts sing Eurovision songs. She's very prominent .

Tess of the D'Urbervilles is up and running - with Jessica Daley as Tess.http://www.chrisloveless.com/events/tess/tess.htm has pictures.

Its an immense role. Jessica has listed parts in 17 songs in the show , and nearly all of them are big solos and duets . its sung without mikes, and allows her to show off her power and ability to interpret the lyrics. Tess also a massive acting role - as you might expect from the title. .She gets to play the full range of emotions going - and does it really well. There's even some pretty impressive dancing in there too. She's pretty amazing - its well worth a visit.
http://www.atgtickets.com/shows/tess...bledon-studio/

There's a lot of excellent 4 and 5 star reviews, and calls from reviewers for it to transfer, and for a CD recording.

The comment in the last one about the people in the front row feeling the intensity, is interesting . Jess plays intense very well - don't try and hold eye contact with her for too long in that scene - she wins.

It needs help getting people on seats though - as the bigger papers didn't seem to make the trip to review it. and it doesn't have that much publicity. Its only 16 minutes by train from Waterloo and then a five minute walk.

The hills will soon be alive with the sound of Dots.

http://www.westendframe.com/2014/12/...-sound-of.html

Jessica, as Jessica Daley, is cast in the Sound Of Music tour next year with Danielle.

Its may be interesting to see who is Danielle's understudy, and if Danielle does the full 8 shows a week, like Helena, or 6, like Connie, with an alternate too.

Jessica Daley has started in the Sound of Music and its now in Southampton having played Bromley. She's literally on the road with Danielle https://twitter.com/jessicacaca7/sta...206210/photo/1

More above under Danielle.

You can play spot where is Jess - as a nun under a cowl - in various scenes, adding to the impressive vocals.

She' s otherwise playing the Admiral's wife if my memory is right (Where's my programme with the name? ) - where she gets to wear a tremendous wig. The wig is here - talking to Danielle's wig https://twitter.com/DanielleHope26/s...314112/photo/1

The big news, as hoped, is that Jessica is the Maria understudy. It would now be useful to know when, and if, Danielle gets a holiday - as thats when Jessica may be on. Danielle is off to New York 13 Feb, so there's a good chance Jessica may be on around then - the tour is in Sheffield that week.

Jessica has divorced the admiral, and is actually playing Baroness Elberfeld (I found my programme)

Danielle very helpfully has tweeted her holiday dates and she's off for the whole week Feb 9th to Feb 14th

Thats week 2 of the tour's stay in Sheffield - where its just started - so Jessica may be on as Maria then - if anyone can get there to see her.

Jessica's started a touring blog - http://wheninthecity.blogspot.co.uk/

According to the Kenwright tour site, the SOM tour now goes on into Jan 2016, with more to be added it says.

If you look at the list , it says that the shows in Woking in June will see Maria played by Jessica. Its worth checking but it may be a chance to see Jessica.
http://www.kenwright.com/index.php?id=1440

Woking is about half an hour on the fast trains from Waterloo, and an easy walkd from the station. .

Jessica has gone out to Manila where she's rehearsing to be in the Manila stop of the Les Miserables tour.
http://www.lesmis.com/manila/2016/01...es-miserables/
http://www.westendframe.com/2016/01/...d-for-les.html

March 11 to April 17. . The Manila cast is a mix of some from Australia, some from London, some new, and some big local and global names.

There's a second stop in Singapore - Fantine to be announced. Singapore runs from 31 May to 26 June.

Interestingly, Jessica's playing Factory Woman and understudying Fantine. Fantine in Manila is the current London one. if they think Jessica can play Fantine, and she's got a good look and the vocals for it, fingers crossed we might see her get the lead playing it?

Four ALW finds currently working overseas at the moment.
