Saw Oliver last night and I'm still smiling... and singing! It is clear just how much effort they all put into it. It truly is a wonderful show, and would recommend that everyone goes to see it. Amazing!

excellent evening out , the cast were great especially the kids!!!! the scenery was very effective , and all in all i will definately going back for another show around xmas time !!!! definately a show not to be missed !!!!!

The effort put in by the actors has resulted in the most superb show. I couldn't have imagined it to be better. I think Fagan deserves to be classed as the best ever but this comment should not downplay the other actors as each were outstandingly talented in their own way.

We went to see Omid Djalili as Fagin last night and what a rare treat it was! I had seen Ron Moody in the West End show about 20 years ago as a teenager and we were lucky enough to see Rowan Atkinson about 1 month ago, also. Jodie Prenger is great, she captivates with her wonderful voice and charming personality as Nancy. The sets were great, because they truly set the atmospheric mood of Dickensian London complete with fog and candle lights, to great effect. The characters had great costumes and make up was spot on. Loads of cast, lots of children and they danced and sang a treat. There is no doubt about the comic genius of Omid Djalili and so he makes it an unforgettable Fagin for me. Would definitely recommend this and come again. Well done Cameron Macintosh for creating such a great show! Very family friendly. Lots of familiar catchy tunes, which make it a joy for everyone. I could hear very well, except when actors spoke in deep, menacing tones (Bill Sykes). Great jokes!

Just saw the Sat matinee of 'Oliver!' - bought my ticket in Feb for June 6 show and have been looking forward to this very special cast. Was not at all disappointed by the performances - all actors were superb, especially Jodie and Burn. But, of course Rowan was the highlight of the show. He took the dark character of Fagin and put his own unique stamp on it as only he can do. Entirely his own interpretation, 'Beanified' as you could say. Absolutely Brilliant! The big problem is that, after paying £75 for a ticket and waiting over 4 months, I was distracted throughout the whole performance by small children in my row and behind me. Many were under 8 years, and were bored after the first few scenes. The little girl next to me continually squirmed in her seat, putting her feet up on the seat in front of her, opening chips bags, shaking her cup with ice in it. Made it difficult to hear the dialogue at times. The child behind me kept kicking the seat. Parents leave the kids home!
