Posted: 12/22/07 at 3:02pmBut this one has a twist - they are also looking for a Nancy! ALW has really tricked us this time.

Posted: 12/22/07 at 3:10pmwow..what's caused the sudden resurgence in interest in the show? Along with this, there are 3 theatres in my area that are producing "Oliver!" as part of their seasons this year!

Posted: 12/22/07 at 4:46pmI'm cool with finding boys to play Oliver through a TV show, but I'm very sadden by the fact they are also looking for Nancy, especially after Mackintosh produced a revival about 12 years ago with the incomparable Sally Dexter as Nancy.

You all know they're doing this with Spamalot across the pond too, right? To find the new Lady of the Lake.

Posted: 12/23/07 at 12:46amMy guess is because I think I heard Cameron Mackintosh say in an interview it's his favourite show. And it was actually his production that got Boublil into musical theatre (or was it Shonberg?) Nonetheless, I'm not a big fan myself.
