Does anyone know who has been cast as the alternate Nancy in the New Oliver production?

I have heard a rumour that it will be one of the other I'd do anything Nancys who will perform as Nancy twice a week. Although rumours in the press some months ago were that the understudy/alternate had already been cast.

Jodie is not scheduled to perform on either Wednesday or Thursday nights according to the Oliver Website.

Anyone know anything???

Thanks

I do believe Jessie has been offered alternate Nancy for the Drury Lane run, althought I haven't heard it confirmed officially.

Great, I hope that is true as we did prefer Jessie anyway

Thanks

I believe Jessie isnt allowed to accept the alternate role because there is a clause in the contract that forbids any runners up being cast as the alternate. obviously this wasnt the case with joseph or maria but it is with Oliver for some reason.

It could well be just for the first few months of the run that they aren't allowed to accept.
Neither Lewis nor Aoife came in til (I think) at least 6 months after Lee and Connie started.
You may well see Jessie playing the role (at least as alternate) from next summer.
