With dazzling sets, a sparkling cast headed by Jonathan Pryce as the villainous Fagin, and Lionel Bart's unforgettable score, Oliver proved its enduring qualities. "Cameron Mackintosh brings us a revival of Oliver that quite likely is the definitive article," Today newspaper said. "With such a plethora of talent employed on Bart's all-his-own-work masterpiece, it was predictable wunderkind director Sam Mendes' production was not going to fall on its face." [Adam Searles] lit up the stage with his cocky, swaggering performance as Fagin's chief sidekick and [Sally Dexter]'s musical talents did more than justice to Bart's memorable tunes.
