Oliver!, Theatre Royal Drury Lane
Cameron Mackintosh presents his triumphant new staging of Lionel Bart's masterpiece Oliver! at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, which was last seen at the Palladium in 1994. Oliver! is one of the most beloved British musicals, vividly bringing to life Dickens' timeless characters with its ever popular story of the boy who asked for more. The new production at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane is even more spectacular than ever before, starring Omid Djalili as Fagin, Jodie Prenger (winner of the BBC's I'd Do Anything) and a cast and orchestra of over one hundred. The sensational score is full of Lionel Bart's irresistible songs including Food Glorious Food, Consider Yourself, You've Got to Pick-a-Pocket or Two, I'd Do Anything, Oom Pah Pah, As Long As He Needs Me and many more.Joining them is Burn Gorman from BBC's Torchwood as Bill Sykes. Row A in the Balcony is restricted view by a handrail. Rows U to ZZ in the Stalls may have an obscured view due to the Dress Circle overhang. Please note: Sickness and holiday permitting, Jodie Prenger performs on Monday and Tuesday evenings, Wednesday matinees, Friday evenings and both performances on Saturday. Jodie Prenger will be on holiday from the 14th to the 19th September inclusive. Leading Australian actress Tamsin Carroll (who played the role of Nancy in the 2002 Australian production of Oliver!) will play the role of Nancy on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Jodie Prenger is contracted to appear until the 12th December 2009. Omid Djalili plays the role of Fagin and is contracted to appear until the 12th December 2009.
