- Best show in the West End at the moment. It’s gritty and the casting is pretty much perfect. One side fact is that Katy Secomb, who plays Widow Corney and becomes Mrs Bumble, is Harry Secomb’s daughter, who played Mr Bumble in the film.
The only let down was ‘Who will buy’. Everything else was so good and this just was too ‘small’. I saw it twice in Chichester and three times, so far, in the West End. I loved it in Chichester but find it even better in London, which I didn’t expect. Having seen Oliver! many times over the years, Simon Lipkin is a great Fagin, up there with the best in my view. They have added one small scene with Bill and Nancy just before Fagin arrives in the first half.
I managed to go to press night and had Cameron Mackintosh dancing and miming along to ‘Consider yourself’, he is just so enthusiastic.
Just go and see it if you get the chance!
It just gets better…. Opening night bows different from before
Glad you enjoyed seeing the opening night performance of Oliver at the Gielgud Theatre in London, it’s extending its run to March 2026 and I will definitely be seeing it again this year after enjoying seeing it in December 2024
Wait- they extended the run? They might as well make it open ended, because everybody loved it in previews and opening night was electric! Look how long the last revival of Oliver ran for starters (case in point).
Happy Opening!!! (I'm SO HAPPY they added 'I'd Do Anything' back into the curtain call - didn't expect that at all. Hope this revival transfers to my side of the pond, great upload)
So am I and I loved the way the boys dance off into the distance following Fagin, much better. I hope they keep it. It’s next to Les Miserables so could be a long run!
