I was one of those tiny orphans in this show! Was on the far right table. Probably the best memory of my childhood!

I got Nancy and there aren't a lot of African American Nancy's, so I'm very exited to play her! EDIT: Our last show was this past Sunday and it was amazing! I cried when I was singing As Long as He Needs Me and also at the reprise. I was blessed to be a part of the show!

Damn. This is the best performances of "Consider Yourself" I've seen in a long time. Good job all. If you don't find yourself tapping or singing along, you are not human.

This is nostalgic. It brings back so many great memories. Thanks for posting! I hope they revive this beloved classic again soon. Be back soon, Oliver!

I AM IN THIS VIDEO AS THE CHORUS AND I WAS OLIVERS UNDERSTUDY AND I AM SO GLAD I FOUND THIS THANK YOU!!!

I had the pleasure of performing this production in Australia and Singapore in 2002/3 as Oliver. What a joy it is to see this footage

Thankyouthankyouthankyou A MILLION TIMES! This is amazing! I wish this was on DVD. Steven Hartley and Kerry Ellis are amazing together!

Saw this in London in 1966 we were on our honeymoon it was the first time I had been to the theatre and was magical never stopped loving the theatre since.

Saw this on tour in bristol , was bloody great ! All time favourite musical , thanks for uploading .

This is AMAZING thank you for posting! I was actually a Workhouse Kid in this production from 2009 to 2010 and I think this is actually my group you've filmed! I didn't know if I'd ever see a recording of my group! AMAZING memories holy moly.

Just how is it that I still get goosebumps or chills down the spine everytime I witness the Consider Yourself sequence from this impeccably staged revival? The choreography overall in this production was incredible, as are the late William David Brohn's orchestrations. The 2024 West End / Chichester Festival production is great already, but THIS tops it.

To the comments about it being illegal and why record . Not everyone has the money to travel to London and see these shows. Also when they do tour they rarely have the original stars in them. They should record them and sell the DVD if they don't want pirate copies. Maybe transmit to cinema live if they don't want to record . I say thank you if they keep thinking London is the centre of the world and keep the show exclusive to them

This was the first West end production I saw , I must have been about 13. I'll never forget the spectacular set with all of the layers so seamlessly blending together

This specific performance is, no doubt, the best I've ever watched.

Brilliant upload many thanks. I live in London this is one of my favourite films of all times watched over 100 times but never got to see the show just spent the last 2 hours or so watching. Wow brilliant production and cast..thanks again

I was a chorus member in my school's Oliver! (Only year 8). Our Nancy was AMAZING!!! My favourite song in the whole production is definitely "I'd Do Anything". I sing it all the time at home, it drives my family mad but I can't get it out of my head. Our Fagin was AMAZING, too.

Holy CRAP the tempo in these songs is so fast. And our production keeps telling us to slow down lmao

I play Fagin in the Oliver! production that I'm in! Thanks for posting, It really helped me.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Went to see this when I was 11 years old, brings back fantastic memories

I was Dodger at The Playhouse and it was amazing and this is so reminiscent I flipping love it thank you for uploading this.

It's a Fine Life and I'd Do Anything are the prettiest songs in Musical theater 😌😍

wow. I'm in a high school production of Oliver! and its amazing, but nowhere near as incredible as this!!!! I love the Consider Yourself in this version!!!!!

We played this at our school, 10 years ago! I played one of the orphans. It was so cool

Fun seeing this production. I saw the 1995 London revival with Jonathan Pryce and recently looked at the program and discovered that "Edward Redmayne" played one of the workhouse boys in the cast I saw!!! He would have been about 12, I think?

Thanks so much! RIght now I'm playing the Widow Corney in my school musical, and this is a great reference.

"Boy for Sale" is SO potent. It perfectly captures the plight of "cheap" life. Personally, I believe that any human life is never cheap. You are important to someone, somewhere, though you may never know it. God bless us, everyone :)

I'll be performing as Mr. Bumble soon in a professional production of this show in New York. I wouldn't say I'm using this video as reference as I like to come up with my own ideas and choices, but it is most definitely interesting and fun to watch in anticipation. Thanks for risking it so that more people can see this amazing production.

I've always wanted to see Oliver like this and now I'm actually going to preform as Oliver at Sunderland Royal theatre!

Kerry is such an incredible Nancy, you literally dont stop smiling from the moment she comes on stage!

Just finished my show of Oliver! today... Memories already.

I'm playing Nancy in about a month and I cannot wait! :D best part is defi itely Oompahpah because it doesnt have to be clean cut like as long ad he needs me :) xxx

I want to see this live so badly!!!

still can't believe I was in this recording good memories.

This is such a great show! I had never even heard about it until I was going to be doing one the songs from it for my recital! I loved it!

We just finished this show in my school!

omg we're gonna perform this tomorrow for our school playy

Oom Pah Pah and Reviewing The Situation are the best songs!

i wish it was still open so i could see it LOVE IT!!!

Love it! So nice 💝

Thank you for putting this up! Been hoping to see a vid of the london one for awhile now

how i’d love to play bet 😭

i loved nancy she was the true hero r.i.p nancy

Come for 2022 Oliver Performed At The Southport School, QLD , Australia

Fabulous Nancy!

I know it’s been long since this video was uploaded, but idc. My community theatre did Oliver the musical a couple months ago and it was SO much fun. I like watching this too see what we did differently and what was the same. If you’re wondering I was a pick pocket and workhouse child in our show. That’s all I wanted to say

I’m watching this because I’m in a production right now. This really helped get into the artful dodgers character!

It feels so good to wacth a show that you were in and just relax and wacth it. This was my first show. I was eleven and its been 10 long years since I've been in this show and I still know the lines and I didnt have any lines at all

Thanks so much for posting, my show is this Wednesday 3rd or december and I'm playing oliver so I'm pretty scared! Haha thanks again

51:48 to 57:07 seriously why is no one talking about this scene 😂 I'm in stitches 😂🤣😂🤣 "Bill you startled me ... I thought you might be a burgerler" 😂 "this is all so sudden bill... I'll need to ask my parents" 🤣🤣🤣 "perls Bill... And you've washed them"😂😂 "perl say ello to Ruby, Ruby say ello to perl"😆 "now perl, here's you big sister... Like to see Sykes get them in his mouth 🤪🤪🤪" "Look at me I'm a dutchess, I should go to the opera 😲😲😲" "who's at the opera let's have a look here... Lord and lady fanakapants.... Lord and lady gaga" 😂🤣😂🤣 "look at all the rich people eh.... And look at all the poor people" 😂🤣😂🤣 Hands down best Fagin ever

Oliver is 1 of my favorite musicals. I would love to play Fagin sometime.

Brings back so many memories of playing Dodger

THANK GOD for this. I need to study up for an audition I have in less than two weeks oops

1:03:18 love this number 👌

I'm playing Dodger in our Oliver performance! Can't wait to play my favourite role in such a classic!

Thanks for the upload!! Random question, you don’t have the bootleg of Niki Evans in Blood Brothers from uk tour 2010 do you? I’ve looked everywhere and I’m desperate!! 😙

It’s a shame the recording isn’t very clear…ie light-wise. But thanks for the recording!

I am participating in this show In denmark. I mean, its just AMAZING.

I love the Artful Dodger so much!!!!!!!!!!!! He's so cute! Especially in Consider Yourself!

I saw this on the west end it needs to re open amazing show xx

I've just been cast as oliver in my college production (bit strange I know) but I'm so excited to take the lead!!! 😁

Impressive. All 12 pixels of it.

the funniest part EVER!! 1:46:25 !!!!!! I love it!!!!

I’m supposed to see this musical this month, but it got cancelled because of Corona 😭😭 now here I am watching this instead and imagining I’m at the theatre

its a fine life is the only thing i hear when i watch this XD

this is so good. It looks like I'm watching a movie.

I think the Nancy was incredible in this show! Jodie needed more expression in oom pa pa

Great

Brilliant

I'm the dancer in oom pah pah I always wanted that role

I saw the very first night of the pre west-end run at Wimbledon Theatre back in the 1950's, in the Gods Monday night, two for 1s 9d, brilliant then, and still is. Remember Georgia Brown as Nancy.

Can't wait to do this with my drama group

playing this in my school next week. GONNA BE GREAT ;)

Boaster is in this.

I auditioned (aged 13) for one of the boys (in the original London Production in 1960)but wasn't successful.I sang for a "posh" church choir,and my voice was considered too "cultured" and not rough enough for one of the boys.However,I did get to meet Ron Moody (Fagin) and Barry Humphries (now more famous as Dame Edna Everage) who played Mr Sowerberry the undertaker.They were very friendly,and all the auditionees had great fun with them.

Haha I'm doing this production at my school, I got the part of Bet and I'm soooooo happy!! She's so fun to play and in my production she has to kiss Oliver on the cheek :) lol it's gonna be so fun

I’m more of a Hamilton gal but I’m gonna be in this show in the spring so I gotta watch it somewhere!

and then: "WHAT THE DICKENS AM I TALKING ABOUT?!" Hilarious!! He defenitly is the best sidekick of all time!!! fantasic!!!!

Friens forever Daniel Huttlestone

What a truly magical production! Takes me back to being a nipper :)

OMG I think MY coreaghrapher (Misspelled) based the dance moves of consider yourself off of this production XD Exact same dance moves. (In the show Oliver! XD Were doing Oliver! And she based it off of this)

Interesting Oliver! facts: The original London production of 1960 is notable for featuring Australian satirist Barry Humphries (Dame Edna Everidge) in his first major stage role as Mr Sowerberry, and future rock stars Steve Marriott (later the lead singer of the Small Faces and Humble Pie), Davy Jones (later star of the Monkees) and Phil Collins (of Genesis fame) as The Artful Dodger. Oliver! composer Lionel Bart hummed the melodies and the music was transcribed by Eric Rogers who wrote the notes on his behalf as Bart could not read or write music. Rogers wrote and composed 21 scores for the British Carry On comedy films, the world's longest series of comedy feature films.

Why stamping cant here the singing

Needs better quality.

The play and the production is done very well. The video quality sucks.

So excited! I got cast as Charlotte in our school production! Any suggestions for the character??

Do you have Priscilla London??

Is that Kerry Ellis playing Nancy?

Lionel Bart was a genius, the boy playing the Artful dodger could give Jack Wild a run for his money, although Jack was brilliant in the film.

I was in my schools version of this musical, the boy who played Oliver in my schools version when they did pick a pocket or two, pulled to hard and ripped fagins trousers down. I was the rose seller as well as one of the workhouse boys. I suffered with serious stage fright. (We didn’t have a proper stage).

I played Fagin in college, now I'm directing "Oliver!" this fall!

I played in the pit for Northrop high schools performance of Oliver and have been looking for a video of the whole performance

the Nancy sings so strong with this

Is this sped up or is the show naturally fast?

My favorite song at 42:26

OMG i swear to God iam the boy that dance behind fagin in be back soon! i didn't now this was on youtube this was 3 hers ago

it's really dark

Who plays Fagin

I think that’s Steven Hartley as Bill Sikes? He’s an amazing actor! Definitely captures the evil of the character, the other actors are amazing too!

So thrilled to be playing fagin again! #dreamrole. Pure bad 'un w/ a heart of gold hating violence but lovin' dickens widely drawn character! Come check us out in November 2015 in wilmette!
