thanks for the exact date, may try and get tickets
They have some silly short term celeb stunt casting going on with Cosette (Lucie from X factor may be starting up after a celeb) and Marius, but as far as I know Sam is taking over then. Nancy Sullivan is certainly leaving on the I9th and no celeb has been mentioned for Eponine yet. Have a look on Westendunderstudies too unless you are going before they give Sam any holidays. Thats been showing for most of the current cast when they are off. If can't get more info see when the other big leads are off - they don't usually send them on hols at the same time. |

A heart full of love. Eponine is near the end.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWMFHYUfgqY One Day more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LxJx14myJ0 Little Fall of Rain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9PW22Kebag Some nice pictures. Seems put up by a Jonas Fan - no on My own so far ........... Sam sounds good for a first outing. Especially as the guest stars she is the one working most with have zilch or little acting training or experience. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...iserables.html Some nice Sam pictures ... Cameron has his arm round her .......... |

I just thought I'd pop by here to say I saw Sam on tues 22nd and she was amazing as Eponine. I was blown away to be honest, it was like she was singing it directly to me, and she seemed to create a very personal performance. The show was absolute perfection.

! Sam will be performing the part of Eponine at the O2 Concert. Wowwwwwwwww!
How amazing! Can't wait to watch the concert when it comes out on DVD. ALW must be delighted. I wonder if he will mention this on his website (he did it when she was in Cabaret) |

Everyone (at least everyone there for the year) usually does the matinees. Wednesday is usually full and has schools or overseas students too so they put the A team on. Sam is off this week?? - filming for TV I think from her twitter - thats an additional complication. When she's been in long enough (and I don't know how long that is) she should get Holidays. Nancy the last eponine was getting something like a half week a month and a week every 3 months. Nancy used to post them on her own site and Les Mis had a big section on http://westendunderstudies.com/Site/By_Show.html because several other cast members kept them up to date too. As you can see, no one from Les Mis is currently telling them. The additional complications are - Simon Bowman as Valjean has been off sick a lot so you can't just wait for him to be on holiday and go then when no other lead should be on holiday which was one way, they have a lot of guest leads turning up for a few weeks which must impact the holiday rota and they have the concert to prepare for . It may be after October before there's any pattern. Best thing is to ask Sam on twitter? or someone like Jenny Barkateer who may know http://www.sambarks.bravehost.com/sam_fan_site.html . Thats if anyone has worked it out yet . |

Just wanted to say - I saw Sam in Les Mis last night and she was absolutely phenomenal. She stole the show for me. She has developed so much as an actress since IDA and her voice is something very special.

On My Own
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThL0c...eature=related Side on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVtPIoG30Q0 It gets better and better with better sound. Finale Nice View of Eponine's role. Eponine starts at the very moment Valjean dies - which matches the effect on the audience when she adds her voice. Pretty memorable dueting with Lea Salonga. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZMPaj5KWmA Front view shows their duet when its not displaying a fixation with Lea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVIPEs-Jz60 The I985 cast sing ODM joined by the concert and the two current casts. Watch the top left big screen for some of Sam getting to sing it with Frances Rufelle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8jVZ...ature=youtu.be Or the better view when the man's head isn't in the way.(already posted in the Lucie Jones thread ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrgl9...eature=related Sam as Eponine http://wooller.com/?id=37016&page=11404&offset=0 Sam as Sam with Nick Jonas http://wooller.com/?id=37088&page=11404&offset=0 Sam with Frances Ruffelle the first Eponine. http://wooller.com/?page=11404&id=37048&offset=0 |

The Les Mis 25th anniversary DVD is out Monday 29th.
According to her twitter Sam will be singing On My Own at the Royal Variety show this year. Danielle Hope will also be there (not clear if she's there on her own?) From the Les Mis concert One Day More (forgot that) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gTjN...eature=related and the missing Eponine's errand scene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-si9c...eature=related and another Little Fall of Rain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYgZL...eature=related |

Sam will apparently be recording On My Own as the B side of the Valjean Quartet (Colm Wilkinson, John owen Jones, Alfie Bo and Simon Bowman) which will be released this weekend (I think) and the proceeds to to an army charity (Help For The Heroes, methinks)
