London's West End

It was first night time for another contestant of Andrew Lloyd Webber‘s Over The Rainbow last night (26 July 2010) as Lauren Samuels took on the role of Sandy in the West End musical, Grease. Siubhan Harrison also joined the cast as Rizzo.

The Dorothy hopefuls, as well as winner Danielle Hope, were out to support Samuels on her opening night, including Steph Fearon who recently invited the girls to the gala night of her London debut in Smokey Joe’s Cafe at the Landor Theatre (See 1st Night Photos, 19 July 2010).
