On social media, the production announced they were dedicating last night's (8 August) performance and the rest of their run to her memory.
Our thoughts are with Olivia's family and loved ones at this difficult time.
We'd like to dedicate this evening's performance and the rest of our run to Olivia's memory and everything she represented. 3/3- Grease West End (@GREASEWestEnd) August 8, 2022
