Following a sell-out run in London’s West End, Cameron Mackintosh’s fabulous new production, one of the most beloved British musicals ever, Oliver! is here at Newcastle Theatre Royal!  

Bringing vividly to life Dicken’s timeless characters with its ever-popular story of the boy who asked for more, Lionel Bart’s sensational score includes Food Glorious Food, Consider Yourself, You’ve Got to Pick-a-Pocket or Two, I’d Do Anything, Oom Pah Pah, As Long As He Needs Me and many more.

Oliver! recently completed a two year run at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London where it opened to rave reviews, sell-out business and the biggest advance sales of all time for a West End show.

Last year, Oliver! celebrated its 50th birthday, having premiered in the West End in 1960.

The role of Fagin will be played by Neil Morrissey from Monday 29 October - Saturday 3 November.

Neil is probably best known as ‘Tony’ in the hugely successful TV series Men Behaving Badly. His other TV credits include Waterloo Road, Skins, Paradise Heights and Carrie and Barry. No stranger to the stage, Neil’s West End theatre credits include Victoria Wood’s Acorn Antiques, ‘Nathan Detroit’ in Guys and Dolls and A Passionate Woman. His film credits include Up ‘n’ Under.

The role of Nancy is played by Cat Simmons. Cat’s theatre credits include the leading role of ‘Mary Magdalene’ in the recent tour of Jesus Christ Superstar. Her West End credits include Whistle Down the Wind and Fame. She also appeared in the Young Vic’s sell out production of Simply Heavenly and the Old Vic’s production of Aladdin opposite Ian McKellen. She is probably best known for her regular role as ‘DC Kezia Walker’ in the long running ITV drama The Bill.

Iain Fletcher plays Bill Sikes - a series regular in The Bill (DC Rodney Skase), Iain is also well known for his portrayal of Doc Ryan in Band of Brothers.

Mr Brownlow is played by stalwart of stage, TV and film Stephen Moore who will be familiar from his roles in Clockwise, Brassed Off, Doctor Who, Harry Enfield and Chums, Middlemarch and Brideshead Revisited.
