i have seen a few posts asking what characters sing what songs, etc,

from cam macs previous production (the one i referred to as directed by sam mendes, director of american beauty and jarhead) , it was the following (the programes for the other 3 professional versions i have seen of this show this is the only one i have to hand, there maybe a slight difference from one production to another)

act one
food glorious food. (oliver and workhouse children)
oliver (mrs brumble, widow corney, workhouse children)
boy for sale (mr brumble)
thats your funeral (mr stowerberry, mrs stowerberry, mr brumble)
where is love (oliver)
consider yourself (dodger, oliver and co)
youve gotta pick a pocket or two (fagin and gang)
its a fine life (nancy, bet and gang)
i'd do anything (nancy, dodger, oliver, bet, fagin and gang)
be back soon (fagin and gang)

act two

oom-pah-pah -(nancy and company
my name (bill sykes)
as long as he needs me (nancy)
where is love reprise (mrs bedwin)
who will buy oliver and company
its a fine life reprise (nancy, fagin, sykes and dodger)
reveiwing the situation (fagin)
oliver reprise (mr brumble, widow corney)
as long as he needs me reprise (nancy)
revewing the situation reprise (fagin)

I really like That's Your Funeral, it's really creepy. But Fagin obviously has the best songs throughout the whole play.

Can Rowan Atkinson sing? I thought he was just there to act...

i would assume so as he attended the Cathedral Chorister School, Durham

He used to do theatre before he became a television and film actor. He also provided the voice of Zazu in 'The Lion King' which required singing. Fagin isn't that hard a singing part anyway tbh.

...and here!

I've been hanging round here for a while but only just got round to registering.

Does CM cut 'I shall scream'? If he does it's a shame because it's a brilliantly fun song.

(It would fit in between 'Oliver' and 'Boy for sale')

I was *just* about to post that question!

(And also, welcome! )

he did in this production(1999-2000), not sure if he did on the palladium version he did a couple years earlier, as my programme for that one is in the loft so cant get to it

Ok, thanks for the reply, and thanks for the welcome zankoku87.

Anybody else know?

hi, i came across the other programme when i went up the loft last night, and it looks like its cut from the other version he did to at the palladium
