Lauren Samuels

What a LEGEND. That is all.

I admired her confidence.

Actually by the final, by when she kind of looked resigned to losing, I'd actually rather warmed to her.

Still think 'I Could Have Danced All Night' was excellent!

She was making me want to cry! lol.

Wasn't fussed to begin with, but she grew on me every week and by the end I loved her!

Would definitely go and see her- probably one of the best voices over all the female ALW shows.. I mean purely voice alone. She's a good actress/dancer too but her voice is her selling point, IMO.

Check out the latest edition of THE STAGE.

Guildford School of Acting, where Lauren was a student, have put in a whole page colour ad congratulating her on reaching the final three of OTR!

Very nice it looks too.

Lauren has to be on the WE Stage soon... aparently she's had a busy couple of weeks!

She was amazing, just not Dorothy

I actually misread that as 'elephant' first time I read it.

Haha! Seriously though - I could imagine her being amazing at belting out "Defying Gravity" - shes a little young at the moment though?

Can't stop listening to Nobody Knows atm...
I didn't like her much when Over the Rainbow was actually on - but now, I just listen to her all the time...lol

Hmm, I'm not sure..I couldn't imagine her with green face paint on I can't see her being a wicked character, I mean I know she's a great actress and so could pull it off..well as long as she Rachel Tucker finish being Elphaba first, then I don't mind

Jenny would MAKE a Galinda! xx

Yeaahh! Jenny would be quite a good Glinda!

Ooh yes!!! Jenny for Glinda defo!!

Jess can be a tree. xD

Are you a tree in you play bubs??? xx

Yes I am! and a solo-ist, a masseur (I got promoted!!), a citizen of Oz and the understudy for the lion!

a masseur?????? In the WIz???? xxx

Yup. In : The Merry Old Land Of Oz (You know, where all the fellows are getting cleaned up to see the Wizard,) my and my best mate Mary are re-stuffing the scarecrow, and we are called masseurs, because being called 'the stuffers' doesn't sound too great! xx

hahaha!!! Ah! I see!! xx

I real could do with a doughball right about now, with some glarliccy butter. NOM!

Btw I may not be on for most of the time on Friday, 'tis my sister's 22nd birthday and we are going up to London to celebrate! I cant wait to see her again! It's been about two months!! xxx
