My favourite Oliver. Such charisma and confidence. If I was to go to see the show I would be hoping he was the Oliver for that performance.

I love Harry. I didn't see him as an Oliver, more of a Dodger, but he was fantastic in Where Is Love and he has such a charm about him. So entertaining to watch.

Harry's my favourite too think his and jessie's crooked smiles would go great together. He definitely always stood out in th group performances. I thought he looked more of a dodger aswell, but like you say where is love confirmed he will be a great oliver

I love Harry! He always seems to be pulling a different face when the camera pans on him, whether intentionally or not, and he's just very entertaining to watch. He exudes confidence and warmth, as Cameron rightly said on Sunday, and he comes across as the consummate professional. My friend saw him as Michael Banks in Mary Poppins and said he was fabulous there too.

I originally had reservations about Harry as Oliver - but his Where is Love? was very much a revelation and I'm sure he has the acting skills to pull off Oliver well. In fact, he may bring a different dimension to Oliver other than the rather drippy image we have. If I see him as Oliver when I go to see the show, I'll be very pleased!

(But I still want Harry as Dodger and Chester as Oliver. )

Yeah I think Harry will give Oliver that bravery, which I certainly did not feel with Mark Lester!

Yup, I am - 7th Jan I don't think they'd have decided on which Oliver would perform on what day until they start rehearsals - though you could always ring the box office and try! I don't really mind which Oliver I get; I'd be interested to see how each of them would fare.

Just a question to those more in the know, it's the previews up until the 14th Jan is it not? Does this mean the show won't be as good/will be different? As I'm stuck on when to go and have to fit it around Uni! Also, I'm wary of booking for something like March and then the winner not actually being Nancy or something.

One thing I am slightly concerned about is whether his voice will break before the show starts - apparently he'll be 13 in September, and he does seem to have a deeper voice than others. He's not that tall though, so maybe it'll (hopefully) still be a while off.

I was thinking the same. Really want to see Harry as Oliver.

I like Harry, but I don't think he would make a good dodger (He is no where near rough enough). I think he'll be a great, different Oliver though. I love the faces he pulls when he sings and the fact that his hair always seems to be sticking up

I don't care how pervy this might sound and it's fairly acceptable as he's 12 and I'm only 18, but I think Harry is going to grow up to be one heck of a good looking man!

i agree i know a few twelve and eleven year olds that fancy him now so he will be very popular when he's 14 - 15 years old
