There's a last chance to see Cameron Mackintosh's fabulous revival of Oliver! this Christmas, as the musical closes its doors at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane for the last time on January 8th 2011, making way for Shrek the Musical which opens in the Spring.

For the final month, Griff Rhys Jones has reprised the role of 'Fagin' - a character he portrayed to critical acclaim back in 2009 - whilst former Wicked star Kerry Ellis continues to star as 'Nancy'.

Consider Yourself at Home

Charles Dickens classic story of Oliver Twist was transformed into a wonderful stage musical by Lionel Bart in the mid-1960s. This revived production at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane has seen many famous names pick a pocket or two, including Rowan Atkinson, Omid Djalili and Russ Abbot all starring as 'Fagin'.

Famous songs from the show include Consider Yourself, You’ve Got to Pick a Pocket or Two, As Long As He Needs Me, It’s a Fine Life, Food Glorious Good and Reviewing The Situation.

Oliver!
is now booking at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane until 08 January 2011.
