Grease Opening Night for Lauren Samuels

1

Well, here it is after a short period for Lauren Samuels to learn the role of Sandy in Grease the way it’s performed at the Piccadilly theatre, the special first night for Lauren – July 26th with I believe more than a couple of old friends from amongst the Dorothys in the audience and at the party afterwards.

We’re not superstitious so would like to wish Lauren Samuels all the very best for this dream fulfilling occasion.Knock em dead Lauren!

Maybe: Stephanie Davis who plays a new character in Hollyoaks from the end of August.

Grease is the Word with Lauren Samuels as Sandy

According to sources close to Lauren Samuels’ Dad, the part of Sandy in Grease will be given over Lauren Samuels herself and rehearsals start in just over a week’s time!

Grease is one of the London West End shows that Lauren has indicated she’s interested in along with We Will Rock You and Les Mis, and if the rumours turn out to be true then this is a well deserved high profile West End leading lady role for Lauren, coming soon after taking the third place out of thousands in the BBC Over The Rainbow TV show.

Interestingly, at a time when some theatres are finding it hard to sell all seats and some shows have announced early closures, Grease has recently extended booking right out until September 2011.

The part of Sandy is currently taken by Siobhan Dillon who has also been in Cabaret (UK tour), played another role in this same of production of Grease at the Piccadilly Theatre and just like Lauren Samuels, Siobhan was a second runner up in a BBC reality casting programme, in this case “How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?” which found a Maria for The Sound Of Music.

Going back a few weeks Lauren said

I’ve got meetings later in the week. I’d love to audition for a part in another West End show … I’m looking to the future now, and hopefully it’ll be in the West End

Andrew Lloyd Webber recently said in an interview on BBC Radio 2 that he was impressed with Lauren Samuels’ attitude during the live shows of Over the Rainbow, calling her a true professional. Lauren also said she wouldn’t mind appearing in Les Miserables, as she thinks On My Own is one of the best show tunes ever,

What next for Lauren Samuels?

Now that Lauren has been ruled out from winning the part of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, and after having received such praise and encouragement from all of the judges and Andrew Lloyd Webber on Over The Rainbow, it seems certain there is a West End career waiting for Lauren.

There have been some interesting suggestions as to which part might suite here best, or just wishful thinking:

  • Glinda in Wicked at next cast change ♥ with a soprano like that she can’t go wrong
  • She needs to be in LOVE NEVER DIES as meg she’s perfect for it
  • I’m thinking Scaramouche in We Will Rock You

Any more?
