She didn't need to tone up! She was bangtidy as she was

Good luck, come back after your rehearsal!


Ditto, especially after hearing Amanda Holden was up the duff!

Good luck!

I agree she didn't need to lose weight, she was lovely the way she was

Sam is doing Sp tonight, Lou just tweeted it

No I do not and I have explained in detail in the above post why. So the sooner she is onto something I can really enjoy the better.

Sam in my view did not need to lose weight, however it is often advised to nearly all actresses going in the westend/broadway etc to get super fit because it is so tough on the body. And with her hetic schedule in EE she would have needed to improve her fitness levels before the show aired. But personally she did not need to lose weight but I understand why she might have felt she needed too.

Exactly


Yaarr Barbican confirmed it to a girl who's seeing it tonight

Sorry, is it because youve seen the original show that it's put you off!? Tad confused.

Totally true, Sam is very thin but that doesn't always mean your physically fit to do such an exhausting show so her loosing weight may just be from toning up so she's a bit fitter.

So glad to hear she's soldiering on that's why I love her so much, she doesn't give up a fight!

Who obiusly phoned the barbican to check Sam was doing the show as she is only going to see it for her as Sam is AMAZING

I saw it in Broadway a couple of years ago. Kelli O'Hara was in the role now being played by Sam. I like Sam's singing but on this it just does not sound nice, all nasal because she is trying to sound American it really is just not nice to me. Whereas Kelli blew me away but then again she is probably one of the best stage singer/actresses in the world so not a fair comparison. Anyway I explained in alot more detail both on this page and on this page before if that clears up what I am saying.
It is not a reflection on her acting which is always good, just for me this does not work. And since I like Sam, I want to see her in something I would enjoy more.
I might be old but I am not old enough to have seen the orginal back in 1949!

I have posted update of my fic please read and comment

Thank you to all who posted links, reviews and updates.

I adore the picture of Rita & Sam. It's definitely going in my book of faves.

I wondered why Glynis put her hand on Sam's stomach and apparently she was commenting on her weight loss... maybe it's because I don't really look at women in that way, but Sam looks the same to me, but I reckon she'd be more toned due to the training, rehersals and the extra exercise she's been doing.

I bet the tabloids nearly wet themselves with excitement when Glynis put her hand on Sam's stomach. I think Glynis was just being affectionate.

I know i did! My stomach did a huge flip and i got butterflies then i read the comment underneath and was like damnnnnnnn.

Mmmmmmm lol there was a few baby related thoughts going through my mind too, then I read the caption and I was like "oh phew!"

I am on my phone and can't post a link but Baz Bamigboye's review in Daily Mail is fantastic. Lots of praise for Sam.

I totally didn't think any baby thoughts. I was just like...... *hmm* and when I read the caption I was thinking.... *okaaaaay*

Sam signed up to do this, so I reckon she'd be extra careful not to fall pregnant during this production.

Not always, Amanda Holden is doing Shrek and made a contract, she has fallen pregnant, maybe planned but i dont see how she'd plan to fall pregnant in the middle of her contract as shes had to complete the contract. She tweeted that shes had to cancel the contract by cutting it short! You can never guarentee contraception people, it is not 100% reliable and you could be that 0.1% Gutting! Lol.

Yes I said she'd be extra careful but of course there is no guarentee.

I think we need to stear away from this conversation, if Sam was too come on here now she'd be like () they are talking about my sex life. We may embarrass her :sleep:

Sam you may just have to give up sex till Christmas m'dear.

Mmmmmmmm I should have thought about that shouldn't I??

Ohhhhhhhh get you smarty pants! hehe

Pwahahahahahahaha that wouldn't just be embarrassing for her it will also be embarrassing for us!!!

Well it's hardly her sex life. Just talking about her falling pregnant or not...

The last line you wrote may make her cringe though

LOL, its cool Rach :sleep:


Yes true! Cringe? Cry maybe She'd be more morbid than Kat the last few months in Ee

Anyway, people have been saying; so what she has a broken toe, I have a broken ankle and still go to work...

Well Sam IS a trouper because I'm sure she's doing TWO shows a day AND she is constantly on the move and doing rehearsals/extra training.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it lame people!! haha

Seriously, I'm really pleased for her getting great reviews, she deserves to be recognised for her hard work
