They probably won't be able to fit in a trip to Sicily but maybe they could go away somewhere a bit nearer home, or maybe just stay home and not get out of bed! 
They've both been working so hard they deserve a chance to relax a bit.
I have seen two more reviews of BatT today in the Metro and the Evening Standard. Both of them give the play two stars and both are not very complimentary the play or about Pixie Lott's performance. The reviewer in the Metro says about Pixie that "for all her to die for wardrobe and powerful singing voice, there is a fatal ordinariness about her that kills the role stone dead." Ouch. The Standard reckons that "nothing about her performance hints at the enduring appeal of Holly who earns her living from a variety of rich men in ambiguous ways". They reckon she would be better in a play with more songs
Cabaret. The play also gets a slating with the reviewer calling it 'dreary'.”

Some female fans do seem to go for these insipid women.
I suppose I like my girls with a bit of personality like Georgia and like Caroline Flack too
for example.”
Pixie in Strictly came across as perfectly nice, a competent enough dancer, but nothing about her made me feel any empathy towards her!! If this is how she came across onstage then it serms she probably is in the wrong part!!
I am at a slight disadvantage I guess, never having seen the film (yes I know
Sandy )
but from what I've read of Holly she's a character who, as a man, you would immediately feel a spark for, an alluring livewire who would capture your heart pretty quickly, a character exactly like Georgia May Foote.......
