It's highly unlikely that I'll be going up to the West End to see the new Oliver, since
a, I don't go out any more,
b, When I *do* get out, and go to Smokey I'd rather meet up with my chums and talk a load of old rot in a pub somewhere than catch a show
c, West End Shows with TV Talent Contests attached = Blah. The trailer alone for I'd Do Anything had so many Stage School Moppets in it that I wanted to fling a shoe at the TV Set.
But... the casting of Fagin has definately got me interested. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7315388.stm I'm glad to see Rowan Atkinson is playing a Bastard again. In fact, I'm glad to see he's back in the acting saddle after his breakdown, because I like him. Only trouble is, when Rowan plays a Bastard, he turns sexy, which Fagin surely shouldn't be. Hmm.
