Hey, Sam is getting very good reviews. Bravo for her!
"The chief attraction of this production was the professional stage debut of Samantha Barks, one of the final three on I'd Do Anything (a genre of programme which, I admit, I have very little time for). In point of fact, this being the first preview, this was presumably her first professional appearance, making this perhaps her first review? In any case, despite the ongoing debates about the merits of these reality-musical programmes, we can thank the BBC for Barks. She gave a fantastic central performance, all voice and charisma. Her Sally Bowles was relatively softly-spoken, bringing out the vulnerability of the character to great effect and investing us emotionally in the dilemmas she faced as Cliff grew ever more distant and cruel. Her singing voice was excellent, particularly stunning in Mein Herr and, of course, Cabaret itself, and she also proved herself as a dancer, backed up by an excellent line. The beautiful Maybe This Time, sung alone on Cliff's bed, was one of the most uplifting moments of the show, and watching Sally decline over the second act was heartbreaking. As actress, performer and singer, Barks couldn't have given a better debut performance and hopefully she'll only grow in confidence as the run continues."

Yup.
