Photo Flash: Theatre Royal Drury Lane's 'OLIVER!'

The new production at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane promises to be even more spectacular than ever before, starring Rowan Atkinson as Fagin with a cast and orchestra of over 100 - including Jodie Prenger as Nancy, Burn Gorman as Bill Sikes, Julian Glover as Mr Brownlow, Rosemary Leach as Mrs Bedwin, Julian Bleach as Mr Sowerberry, Louise Gold as Mrs Sowerberry, and Gwion Jones, Harry Stott or Laurence Jeffcoate as Oliver.

The sensational score is full of Lionel Bart's irresistible songs including Food Glorious Food, Consider Yourself, You've Got to Pick-a-Pocket or Two, I'd Do Anything, Oom Pah Pah, As Long As He Needs Me and many more.

Rupert Goold (Best Director, 2008 Olivier Awards), will be restaging Sam Mendes acclaimed production, and along with Tony award winning director and choreographer Matthew Bourne will be using every inch of London's greatest musical stage with even more sensational sets by Anthony Ward.
