I am lucky enough to be working on the current Oliver! at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane and I wish so much that Jonathan Pryce was playing Fagin again, he's amazing. And he helped pay for my drama school fees so an all round brilliant guy!
I saw this on my first trip to england, I was six years old and laughed my ass off at every single thing Jonathan Pryce did. ,even when I wasn't supposed to- I just thought he was completely great. He was probably thinking "WHO THE HELL IS THAT" the whole time, I was laughing so loud. He is still one of my faovrite actors esp. in Brazil
This excerpt is from the 1994 London Palladium production with Jonathan Pryce as FAGIN, Sally Dexter as NANCY and Miles Anderson as BILL SIKES. I agree with your view, however this was made to parallel the movie in many ways. It's brilliant.
normaly is oliver played by Jon Lee how was a member of the popband Sclub7. he played oliver at the age of 12 (1994) and other cast members where Jonathan Pryce as Fagin.
he's more cockeny than dodger and not a bit jewish! there's no tempo at all and whoever directed him has no understanding of the lyrics. thou full credit to jonathan he seems to have been in every film/show going!!

I'm not convinced that Jonathan Pryce here is the true Fagin and is in no way excellent at all. he's very bland to look at facially and his london/jewish accent is nowhere to be seen. i think to be able to take a part like this you have to know the character inside out. i don't think he does. he doesn't do Fagin the justice he deserves. Although i'm sure there were reasons for casting him.
I was Knife Grinder a couple of years ago, heh "Kniiiives, knives to griiiiind!" hehe. As for Fagin.. Jonathan Pryce plays the same character in any role. He's "okay" as Fagin.

Fagin: Are you hungry?
Oliver: Yes...
Fagin: Would you like a sausage?
-------------------------------
Boy: OY! THESE SAUSAGES ARE MOLDY!
Fagin: Shuddup and drink your gin
i LOVE Fagin. Can you believe that the man who is playing Fagin was Governor Swann in Pirates?!

I really don't like the way this boy plays Oliver. It seems he always has the same facial expression! And I also think his voice sounds to happy.
