How was Sharon D Clarke's attendance in Caroline in the West End?

How was Sharon D Clarke's attendance in Caroline in the West End? I know that Tonya Pinkins and others have struggled with the demands of the role. Should I avoid 2-show days because of the possibility that Clarke might have to miss one of the shows? And should I try to go earlier in the run? Thanks in advance for any insights!

Saw her twice in CAROLINE at The Hampstead and once when it moved into the West End and each time she was a force of nature, both vocally and otherwise.

I think that given the show is a limited run of 13 weeks she will likely aim to do an 8 show week. She clearly has the lung power. For the West End run she did 7 shows but that was a run that extended from 3 months to 5 months.

We have tickets for Nov and while we could opt to see other things that week we are going to see her once again. She's THAT good....and the production itself is quite stellar. Much as I loved the original it was very static compared to this vibrantly directed and well-paced production.

Don't miss it!

Not sure of her overall track record, but I saw a matinee on two show day late in the run and not only was she on but she was on fire (in the best sense of the word).
