(25) Emilia Paige Jurin was a swing in the 2025-26 UK tour. Emilia had her Six debut on May 31st 2025 as Cleves and her final debut as Howard on December 5th, 2025, the opposite order as her fellow UKT 7.0 swing Lucia Valentino. She emergency covered Parr with the 24-25 UK tour on August 9th, 2025. She is the first to wear the pewter swing costume, and has Cleves and Parr variations in addition to the standard split skirt base.
Days to complete Swingo: 189 Date completed: December 5th, 2025 Performance stats:
Fun Fact: Emilia’s emergency cover with the UK Tour 6.0 company was after her debut with the 7.0 company, as the UK Tour 6.0 and 7.0 casts overlapped during the summer of 2025 due to the China tour stop conflicting with scheduled UK stops.

(26) Lucia Valentino was a swing in the 2025-26 UK tour. Lucia was previously principal Howard in the fourth Breakaway cruise cast which opened in September 2022; since her Six debut was in a much earlier production, she holds the record for longest time to complete Swingo. Coincidentally, she also holds the record for longest single-production Swingo for a swing (as opposed to an alternate). Lucia made her UK tour debut on May 31st 2025 as Howard and had her final role debut as Cleves on December 6th 2025. She wears the silver swing costume with Cleves and Parr variations.
Days to complete Swingo: 1191 (single production: 190, UKT 7.0) Date completed: December 6th, 2025 Performance stats (note: cruise stats other than debut dates not available):
Fun Fact: Lucia is the first performer to have gone from a principal to a swing track.
