Oliver! Opens at Theatre Royal Drury Lane
OLIVER! has opened at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
"This is a revival of 1994’s London Palladium production,
originally directed by Sam Mendes and now revived with assured panache
by another young theatrical whiz-kid, Rupert Goold.
It seems even more polished this time … and the play’s thrilling,
violent climax, with its chase scenes and suspense, is as exciting as
anything on the London stage." **** Charles Spencer, The Telegraph
The show is already the fastest selling on record, with a reported £15 million in advance ticket sales.
"Last night’s opening showed that its commercial success is
deserved artistically. Anyone who needs cheering up … should get along
to Drury Lane sharpish and catch this humdinger of a night." Quentin Letts, Daily Mail
