I am a big Samantha fan, did not agree with your comments Scott, truly a very talented girl. I think your comments on the final was wrong as you have slated the poor girl all along, maybe you will be kinder for the next show. Stopped reading and looking at this site, you were unfair to the beautiful, talented Sam, I'm sure she won't be too bothered.
I agree with the comments made by Jenny, I was also a big Samantha fan, I think the stage have been very unkind to her . She is clearly a very talented and will go far. The final was a real let down . Just to let Samantha know how many people were behind her and when she gets on to the West End, we will all come and support her.
i love Jessie Buckley so much! She is still my nancy and is so amazing (L)
Whatever happened to Jessie Buckley? Does anyone know?
Whatever happened to Jessie Buckley? Does anyone know?
yes i know, jessie buckley was offered the understudy role of nancy in oliver, but it is believed she turned it down. she is now doing a shakespeare course at RADA. (the top class acting school in london). she wants to train properly before taking any roles. She still has Cameron And ALW backing her, so she should be in something once she has finished her course.
