Now that this is underway I thought I'd put a link to the Oliver! site - all sorts of goodies on there, including photos, are rather wonderful video and information on tickets. www.oliverthemusical.com/I have it on good authority that he's fabulous in this - can't wait to see it myself!

Saw the show on Friday and it was above and beyond my expectations.Fabulous!! ;D Griff's interpretation of Fagin is pure joy and made me feel like I was discovering the character all over again.He really highlighted the complex,dual personality of the man.Funny and scary,dark and light....marvellous! The whole show was a real treat from start to finish and apart from Griff's performance,the other delight was the way the sets had been brilliantly designed to move seamlessly from one scene to the next ,almost like watching a film. I absolutely have to see it again soon! For those of you who haven't seen it on my FB,here's my pic with the man Himself,who was incredibly sweet (as usual) and genuinely surprised that anyone liked his work! LOL..... Jilly xx PS Think we'll have to forgive him that hat eh? Attachments:

It was fabulous, wasn't it? I thought he was absolutely brilliant - it was nice to see an interpretation that wasn't just for laughs, or just sinister, he got the combination spot on. Pure joy indeed. And I was seriously impressed with the singing and dancing side of things too! The whole show was really well done I thought - the set is a masterpiece (crikey, would have hated to have been involved in the tech for that one!) and the children - particularly Dodger and Nipper - were just brilliant. We got to go backstage and say hello to Griff afterwards - as ever he was a complete delight and so much fun, and very tolerant of a hatful of fangirls in his dressing room! Oh, and I got a pic as well.....love the hat! MANY thanks for Manbitch for organising it all, and to Griff for his generosity! ETA: Jilly, how do you do the small pic thing? I'm getting traumatised at the sight of me that size!

Yes we must....and count me in again please! As for my pic being smaller Lindsay,I think it's because I must have used the version I resized for FB,as my original is the same size as yours.Having said that,if you click on it,it reappears larger. I have never understood the technicalities of such things though Big is good though....with the exception of that hat! LOL I'm still wondering if I could have hidden that towel about my person.... ;D xx

It's my nose that was concerning me more than the hat!
Well that's just what happens when you wear such glamorous clothes, Jilly - nowhere to conceal things! ;D

Yes.....especially anything damp! Might give the wrong impression when standing close to someone for a photo.... ;D ;D ;D
Although I don't think I've owned any remotely glamorous clothing since my wedding dress! LOL

Just to let everybody know - we are organising a small trip to see this on May 1st (on account of it being Nearly My Birthday and Nearly Ali's Birthday and it sounds like a good excuse to me) so if anyone wants to come along, do let me know - very quickly! xxx

Ooohh... very tempting,and thanks for offering to organise it Pol,but I have already promised OH and daughter that we will go together at some point if I can get tickets. Don't think I can really justify another visit,much as I'd like to of course xx
