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 Click here to view the embedded video. And, yes, that’s Ruthie Henshall not Jodie!
