The £4 million production opened at the London Palladium on 15 November 2006 to positive reviews, leading to a £1.1 million increase in ticket sales in one day. In January 2007, Fisher was chosen by the London Critics' Circle to win their award for best newcomer, sharing the prize with Andrew Garfield. Reducing her performances to six per week in March 2007 following an order to rest her voice, her run in the show was extended until 23 February 2008, when actress Summer Strallen took over the role following a tie-in with the Channel 4 soap "Hollyoaks". Fisher has also made numerous appearances on stage and on television, released two albums, and performed the lead role in the ITV1 drama "Caught in a Trap" on 26 December 2008. She reprised her role as Maria in a UK tour of the production in July 2009.
