** Book Oliver Christmas Theatre Breaks **
Griff Rhys Jones Back as Fagin for Christmas 2010.
Griff Rhys Jones is back in the role of Fagin for 5 weeks, just in time for Oliver Theatre Breaks over Christmas, starting on Monday 6th December 2010 until Saturday 8th January 2011, when sadly, Oliver must end its record breaking run, making way for Shrek The Musical.
Griff took over from Omid Djalili as Fagin from Dec 14th 2009 and stayed until Saturday 12th June when Russ Abbott revived the role, having played Fagin in Oliver before at the Palladium, Theatre Royal and on tour.
Kerry Ellis took over from Jodie Prenger as Nancy from 29th March 2010 and Kerry Ellis is staying until the end of Oliver in January alongside Griff Rhys Jones and Steven Hartley as Bill Sikes.
