The New Oliver! – Could it be you?
The original Oliver!’s from the current production Laurence Jeffcoate, Gwion Jones and Harry Stott were chosen last year as part of I’d Do Anything. Now some other lucky boys will get the chance to follow them onto the West End stage.
It’s not just Oliver – the show is also looking for a potential Artful Dodger and other members of Fagin’s gang, so girls are in with a chance too.
Who are they looking for?
Actors should be aged eight to 13, under five foot tall, with unbroken voices and strong singing, dancing and acting skills.
Auditions
Initial auditions will be held on 10 August, and children should be available to appear in the show from October 2009 to April 2010.
For more information about the auditions please contact Jo Hawes at jo.hawes@virgin.net
And, yes, that’s Ruthie Henshall not Jodie!

Hi David, we write about the musicals, we don’t have any direct connections with the production. You need to contact Jo Hawes at jo.hawes@virgin.net but this post was written back in July so they’ve probably got enough people to see for now.
I’ve removed your e-mail address from the pages. It’s really not a good idea to leave it in comments as you might get some odd people contacting you.
Hi there, my daughter Katie is aged 10 and would like to audition as one of the children in your Oliver production. Please email me with any further details.
What an amazing 9 months of theatre Oliver gave us. Hope this article helped contribute toward the show Linda? It would be amazing to know if you actually forwarded any of the cast!
