Nope.
Oliver will go into the Prince Edward. What a depressing waste of a theatre. Again.

Hello Dolly would suit the Palladium better - possibly a shorter run due to the bigger house.

I think Dolly would be perfect at the palladium, but part of me feels like it will never actually happen now.

I thought beauty was ment to go to the Prince Edward also has anyone heard anything about mean girls where’s that going to go? Beauty and the beast is going to Palladium. That’s already been announced no? Mean girls WAS going to the savoy but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not happening anymore. |

Most of it? Has ‘our Jane’ been seen doing Intermediate Tap at Patty Powells Dance Emporium in Doncaster again? Must be a shoo in for Reno.

I recon the west end will be seeing loads of revivals like (Oliver, etc) to bring non theatre goers back to the west end again when things are back up and running again. We will have the odd new show every now and then. Praying we see some original musicals aswell 😊 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It would sort of make sense if Oliver! were to come to the Palladium. When Cameron Mackintosh revived the show back in the 90s, it was at the Palladium and seeing as Andrew Lloyd Webber brought Joseph back there, I can imagine Mackintosh potentially doing the same for Oliver!
I suppose the other question is that if it is being revived, what production will it be? Will it be the 1994/2009 version, or the Laurence Conner directed production that toured back in 2011-13? Although in all fairness, I'm not sure how different these two productions are, as from what I've seen from videos on YouTube, they look fairly similar to each other.

Patty Powell's is, and always has been, based in the upstairs room of the divan centre in WAKEFIELD. Derek gives Miss Patty a special deal on the rent. 😉 If you want to learn intermediate tap in Doncaster then it has to be Cre8ive, one of the three best dance schools in the whole of the borough. Not so good at spelling though! ☹ |

If Oliver is being revived it would be nice to have a new production. While I enjoyed both the Drury Lane revival and the last tour its getting more like the film and less theatrical. Would be great to let Dominic Cooke and Vicki Mortimer do it. Or go all the way back and re-stage it on the magnificent Sean Kenny set (Cameron Mackintosh still has it in storage).

This sounds like a crazy casting idea but imagine lin Manuel Miranda as Fagin
This revival would probably have to be stunt cast really well for it to work

Oliver at the Piccadilly (1967) was the first West End musical I ever saw and still remember the fantastic Sean Kenny set which at its time was a technical marvel for its ingenuity and it would be nice if new audiences could witness it in all its glory.It would also fit into the Prince Edward stage quite nicely! I saw the Sean Kenny set as a child at the Olympia Theatre, Dublin in 1981 when the original production was recreated with a magnificent Irish cast. I don't think any set has wowed me as much since. It had such energy and atmosphere. It's still hugely influential - I see echoes of it in John Napier's set for Les Misérables and the set for Hamilton. I would love for new audiences to see it in all its glory also. |

I wouldn't mind seeing Samantha Barks give it another go, if she's not still doing Frozen by then. |

On an Oliver tangent, I’d like to see Jessie Buckley finally have a crack it at. She can definitely sing and her acting has come far since the I’d do anything days
