| Review score: | 1/11/2010 | | "Great fun." | | "Brilliant show, really enjoyed it. Only note of caution; most of these theatres were built when the average height of the London population was 5`5". If you`re much above that (I`m 6`3", my wife is 5`11") you are not going to be comfortable, certainly in the upper circle, and you`re going to have trouble finding a comfortable position without your knees being very uncomfortably wedged against the seat in front..... that was the only downside to a wonderful afternoon`s entertainment, and I rather wished I`d bought better tickets, the few extra £`s would have been worth it!"

| Review score: | 15/7/2010 | | "Different Star, But Still 5*" | | "We arrived at the theatre expecting to see Griff Rhys-Jones headlining as Fagin(as stated on the web site only a couple of days earlier) only to find that Russ Abbott was now playing the part. Had he only stepped into the role the day before or does the Theatre Royal web site need updating more frequent ly ? This change made no difference to me , but to my wife it had. She is not a fan and was appalled by the thought of seeing him. So, it was with some trepidation when we entered the theatre. 2 1/2 hours later we were both giving a standing ovation to an excellent cast who had all given a superb performance with special praise for Mr Abbott. His "i am reviewing the situation" was splendid and the "Lady Gaga" joke brought the house down. My wife will never be a fan of his but she does have a new found admiration for him. Special praise also to the set designers et al, the sets were fantastic.
All in all a show that i can not recommend highly enough . 5*+"

The production, in particular the dance and movement in the major numbers was first rate. Whilst the children, Oliver, The Artful Dodger, Bill Sykes and Nancy were good some of the lesser characters failed to impress. Fagin amused and acted well but was it really impossible to find a crowd attracting celebrity who could sing?"
