Aoife Mulholland?  She was on the Maria series and was an amazing alternate Maria in the SoM, and had several long runs as Roxie in Chicago too before playing Brooke in Legally. . Siobhan from that series is another great singer - she was in Legally Blonde too -  and was last seen as Molly in Ghost. Helena Blackman is also very impressive - currently in Gays the  Word at the Jermyn Street theatre.

There was an operatic Maria who I think has a career as a classical  singer in concerts and stuff.

I think it's actually pretty great how well some of these girls are doing since the show.

Personally I think for Rachel, not winning was the best thing that happened to her - she was Nancy but she was born to play Elphaba, absolutely sensational in that role, great actres and that voice, that belt... I'm so happy to have seen her numerous times in the role including her last performance.

Sam Barks is doing brilliantly. So pleased for her to have had that part on Les Mis I'm sure we will be seeing a lot more of her.
