Buy tickets for Oliver! in West End to beat the inevitable rush!

Following on from the back of BBC1's "I'd Do Anything", I was wondering how to find out where the production of "Oliver!" is going to be and when the tickets will go on sale.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

  • I don't think it has been said which theatre this will be in yet.
    Cameron Mackintosh owns/part owns seven theatres in London West End himself so it might possibly be one of those.:confused:

    Those theatres are: The Queens, Gielgud, Prince of Wales, Prince Edward, Wyndham, Novello and Noel Coward

    On Cameron Mackintosh's website it gives a link to register your name and email address for information about 'Oliver' as soon as it is released.

    The link is: http://www.oliverthemusical.com/

    Hope that helps a little. :smiley:

    If you find any other info out please PM me as I am very interested too.

    Thanks.

    Just found this from the BBC News Website
    Rowan Atkinson is to star as Fagin in the forthcoming West End stage production of Oliver!

    The cast will also include the winners of the BBC show I'd Do Anything - one actress will play Nancy and three boys will take turns to play the lead role.
    Blackadder star Atkinson, 53, said the role was a long-held ambition.
    "In the 1980s I enjoyed doing a lot of West End theatre and since then have been distracted very much by Mr Bean and film-making," he said.
    "I had been thinking for some time about returning to the stage and the idea of the role of Fagin, which has long intrigued me.
    "Some time ago I even played the role in a school production [so it] seemed like too good an opportunity to miss."
    Sir Cameron Mackintosh's production of the Lionel Bart musical opens at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in December. It will feature a cast 100-strong cast.
