How do you ruin a classic well known musical? Give the rights to The Occracy! OK. Well, as you were warned before, Aaron & David are BACK with a new musical...OLIVER! Yes. There was nudity (well, almost) Yes. These was a mentally deficiant person in it (acting as one). Yes, it was shite! There were 3 things that were good in the show 1) Kate Walsh as Nancy 2) Interval 3) THE END Seriously don't waste your money...I'd would of rather poked my eyes with the knife the little kid was playing with on stage that see that crap again! The other good thing was dodger in the bath....he was young (17-18) but it took away from the appauling piece of theatre I was witnessing!!!! Anyone else have any thoughts???

Settle down there pussy cat! One step at a time. I sometimes find it hard to follow one theatre company's work. I've ben let down in the past. Oliver was the first ocracy production I saw, and I loved it. There were a couple things that bugged me, but I don't htink I've ever seen a show where something hasn't bugged me. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to theatre and have my own visions of things. I have to admit that I am actually excited about seeing Jesus Christ, as it is one of my favourites as well. I've already seen the posters for the show hanging up and at first I thought it was a professional production. They look great, I wonder where they got them done. But if they're spending money like this now, imagine what the show will be like. I think I'll stop there before I too become a bit like excitable Mr. MA.
