MAKES WEST
END DEBUT AS ‘SANDY’ IN GREASE

 

 AT THE
PICCADILLY THEATRE

 

Lauren will join the cast of
the smash-hit musical on 26 July 2010. Making her West End debut, Lauren will
star in the iconic role of ‘Sandy’ until 22 January 2011 at London’s Piccadilly
Theatre.

Set
to be one of the West End’s new rising stars, Lauren was a finalist on
the popular BBC1 show Over the Rainbow.
During the series, in which Andrew Lloyd Webber searched for a leading lady to
star in The Wizard of Oz, Lauren
consistently wowed the judges with her stunning performances week after week.
Watched by millions, she beat thousands of ‘Dorothy’ hopefuls to become one of
the final three and after finishing the programme has gone on to pursue her
lifelong ambition to perform in the West End. Having impressed the show’s producers
and creative team, Lauren will leave
audiences hopelessly devoted to Grease when she makes her West End
debut this summer. Lauren trained at the Guildford School of Acting and last
year made her professional stage debut as ‘Wendy’ in the Christmas production of
Peter Pan at the Curve (Leicester).

 

Looking
forward to her role, Lauren says: ‘I am so unbelievably excited to be joining
the wonderful cast of Grease. It was
one of the first musicals I was taken to see as a young child and so to be
given the opportunity to recreate the iconic role of ‘Sandy’ and to make my
West End debut in the show, is a dream come true. I feel like the luckiest girl
in the world!’

Producer David
Ian says:
'I'm thrilled that Lauren
is joining the cast of Grease as Sandy. I know audiences
will love her performance in the most fun show in London'.
