West End's OLIVER! to Close Jan 8; SHREK on His Way?
Whatsonstage reports that the West End's OLIVER! revival has set a closing date of 8 January, 2011. The production opened on 14 January 2009 with the West End's largest advance ever: £15 million. A spokesperson for the show is reported as saying: 'For a show as enormous as OLIVER!, a two-year run at Drury Lane is just fantastic, so we are going to have a sensational six-month send-off.' That send-off includes a special engagement on 30 June 2010, in which Ron Moody will return to the role of 'Fagin' for a special one-night-only 50th anniversary performance. He began performances in the same role at London's New Theatre on 30 June, 1960.

Oliver took in £3 million more than Dirty Dancing did in 2006, a stunning feat in these tough economic times. The production now has sound clips from its upcoming cast album available on the official Oliver! website. You can find them by going here!
