Okay, Mrs. Sowerberry? Actually, she was pretty good. This is musical theatre, not just singing to be singing. The point is to hit the notes and be heard. She hit the notes, she sure could be heard and she added to her character - the CHARACTER is a "horrible" singer.
Oh dear, I played Mrs Sowerberry when I was about 7/8- and I think I was actually more in tune then than that poor girl now! (and I really wasn't in tune...)
the whole point of oliver is that it's set in the bad parts of london, meaning that you need to SOUND as if you're from there, i.e the cockney accent.
and i read that you guys couldn't train in the accent - but hey, we're all doing it? i'm SWEDISH and i speak with an american accent, and i've learnt how to speak both english posh, and cockey for this play. (i play nancy).
otherwise, i thought the singing was excellent, and mrs soweburrys laugh at the end! INCREDIBLE.
I played the role years ago. I had wanted to play Sikes and was rather pissed-off about being cast as Mr. Sowerberry, but I ended up having a great time in the part and a fun physical relationship with "Mrs. Sowerberry"! Enjoy mate!
Mr. Sowerberry seemed.....Ionno. To me his expression just seemed more amused and happy, than twisted and morbid like I'd expect it would be. But Mrs. Sowerberry was amazing, although I think the evil laugh at the end seemed a little over done and unneccessary ^^:
---
I almost completely agree. But I think she was hovering just above the tone she shuld have been. She shuld have been belting a bit more like she was on her last "No one else's funeral" because her nasaly voice sounded to fake.
Yeah. Unhealty for an untrained voice, her's sound's pretty trained to me. Almost all of the girls in my choir can do it fine w/out hurting themselves. Don't get me wrong, this was amazing. I've just become a bit critical sense I first started choir and got into musicals.

@xoxjessemxox we are doing the production this year and our teacher says if one person cant do the accent then it sounds off so just dont do them.

Gosh people stop being so critical. I thought that was a very good performance. Yes maybe it wasn't perfect but could you do any better?

And PatrickLMT is right. This section should be in English accents, and they're not doing bad at all.

"Mrs. Sowerberry's" performance is absolutely splendid! And I love how you used the choir in the background - it gives a special touch to the song.

Not to mention that it's not even "Dickens's play", technically speaking, as it's a musical *based on* a Dickens novel.
To my knowledge, good old Charles D. didn't write any plays.
