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
