I'd Do Anything: Jodie Prenger Wins
 It was the night of finals in the UK last night. First Britain's Got Talent - see two previous posts - and then for the part of Nancy in I'd Do Anything. And really both ended up with unpredictable results.Jodie Prenger won I'd Do Anything even though Andrew Lloyd Webber and Cameron Mackintosh thought the winner should have been Jessie Buckley. It just shows, as with Britain's Got Talent, that phone voting doesn't always follow logic.  With I'd Do Anything the lovely Samantha Barks was the first to be voted out of the three finalists followed by a tearful Jessie.It's only a personal opinion but I don't see Jodie as the perfect Nancy. She doesn't look right for the part for one thing - and yes, this is important - and her shocked expression at the end didn't altogether ring true. But such is life. Good luck to Jodie Prenger, 28, in the West End production of Oliver in December. No doubt the voters will rush for tickets.
