This is probably the ONLY good song in the whole musical, the only bit in the movie that didn't make me want to slit my wrists, and I'm so glad Rowan took the role, makes the song even better
I saw it with Rowan atkinson and now Omid Djalili tonight and I must say he was just as brilliant. The dialogue was changed slightly as well to suit his personality more and it was hilarious.
Loved the "you can't trust the banks these days" & "I love politicians, they let you take anything, they just claim it back on their expenses" the audience were in stitches. Plus the slight Iranian dance moves were perfectly done.
yeah i dont want to see omid djalili playing fagin but i do want to know what he's like, i can practically predict mr atkinson was loads better though, i saw him twice
Omid Djalili is phenomenal, much better than Atkinson actually. He can sing really well for a start, plus he added some really good personal twists I didn't feel Rowan was really doing. Djalili was by far the best performance where Atkinson was just one amongst several...
perfection! =D

@MangoMan14 He's way less Jewish than most Fagins, for what it's worth.

This a good version of the song, but I agree with some of the others Ron Moody was and always will be the best <3

GUTTED we didnt get to see rowan because he has a hernia or something!
LilPinkSammy257 2 years ago
Lol, he is. Though he appears to be silent a bit mostly (figured that out when I had contact with someone from his crew, lol).
I went to it not long ago, in May. When we went there with school... : - )
You could call it a fun-excursion... except from the museums it was fun: Oliver, Madame Tussauds, etc.
