Oliver Review

DURING THE FIRST 1/2 HOUR, I FELT A BIT DISAPPOINTED AS IT WAS SLOW TO GET WARMED UP AND i COULDN'T HEAR WHAT BUMBLE WAS SAYING. HOWEVER, AFTER THAT THE SHOW REALLY WARMED UP AND WAS THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE. STEVE HARTLEY (BILL SYKES) WAS REALLY REALLY GOOD. YOU COULD HEAR A PIN DROP BECAUSE HIS ACTING WAS SO MENACING WITH SO MUCH TENSION. ARTFUL DODGER WAS BRILLIANT TOO. RUSS ABBOT AS FAGIN WAS OK BUT I THINK HE COULD HAVE PUT MORE OF HIS OWN MARK ON THE ROLE! NANCY WAS BRILL TOO.
