[thetwofreaks1]

Doing this play for a school production cant wait its in a real theatre with a capacity of 700 seats its gunna b ace

[CP1234hello22]

I saw this 3 years ago front seat ROWAN WAS AMAZING HE IS BY FAR THE BEST FAGIN

[eligindahouse]

who was oliver??

[pinkpwincess2007]

@eligindahouse Harry Stott

[CharlieAndGuitar]

omid djalili was 100 times better, dont get me wrong I love rowan but i thought omid was 100 times better xD

[TheMaxamillion2010]

I saw Rowan,,,, the best!

[ThePag09]

Cool! Saw Griff and Jodie in it yesterday and got a pic with them both :D Really sad that Jodie's leaving in like 2 weeks :( Griff was dead funny and really brought an almost 'nasty' side to Fagin. Shame I didn't see Rowan in it :(

[urworstnightmare123]

I saw griff rhys jones yesterday. He was amazing also! Much, much better than omid djalili.

[FrankClanton]

Omid was hilarious.

[MrsSuTing]

I saw him last february in this musical! he's soo awesome! and i have his handsign!

[ilovehermorethanudo]

is rowan ded or not pls ans me cos some of my teacher i saying that rowan is ded.. pls tell me...

[101moviegod]

@ilovehermorethanudo he is not dead.

[bobbie406]

rowan atkinson (Y)

im seein this in october XD bit annoyed that the person playin nancy will change but oh well i like the actor taking over =]

[PeterFirthFan]

Ross stole the show every time.

[MissxPurplexRose]

i saw this in january .. was great x x

[jesusfreakmusic]

It was very cool to see him when I've been to London in May for the 2nd time. First time I saw Lion King which was great too.

I hope to visit London soon again. And see more musicals. I'm a bit addicted to London actually. It was also very cool to mail with one of the shillings gang guys. Reply to me and I say some words of how 'Mr. Bean' is in real life...

Greetings, Holland!

[THEb0nuSJ0NaS]

been there done that XD

[Kacey25]

Rowan is just brill! Have seen 3 Fagins right now. (Rowan, Omid and a Cover)

Rowan and Omid are totally different. I am happy Omid did not try to copy Rowan. He has his own style. Like them all! But Rowan is just a unicate! :D

[msngal333]

whos the kid in the white cap, green caot and yellowyish top ??

[livylou15]

I am in the show it is brill but rowan is better as the character but omid interacts more wiv us!

[patsyscorpion21]

Love Mr. Atkinson!!!

[101moviegod]

haha Griff rhys jones is taking over as fagin this december...

[urworstnightmare123]

WOW! I'd love to see that!

[rennnn22]

was this show in august???

[mrcoolfin1]

i went to this show

[ceribob]

Having seen both - I loved Omid as fagin, he was really funny.. but Rowan was better :) imo.

[damechastain]

LOVE Rowan.

[101moviegod]

all in all is Omid better or is Rowan better? I saw Rowan and thought he was amazing but I'm just wondering which one got the most laughs?????? I've heard some clips of Omid and he sounds goooood..........and also, Omid didn't get a clap in the clip I saw when he first came on whereas Rowan got a thunderous applause......does Omid get claps????

[pinkpwincess2007]

ive seen both rowan and omid, and when i went, omid did indeed get a HUGE applause after his opening line :D

[1991FallenAngel1991]

i think both are equally as good, they bring different things to fagin's character, they can't do better than that.

thanks for getting this btw.

[AceripXF]

just watched omg that was awesome LOL damn i wish some days i didn't live in the states that 1 moment when he was talking instead of singing reminded me of his char blackadder from teh 1st series thanks for uploading that

that was cute!

[why1so1serious1]

i wannet to see that went ther and they said he just leaved :(

[popmusicno1fan]

yeah omid djalili's taken his place now

[why1so1serious1]

uhu the woman said something like that yeah the first time in london and i miss him :(

[katieh1989]

this is one of the best shows i have ever seen at the west end!!

Roawn Atkinson was aawsome, Got his signiture at the end on my programme :)

[AceripXF]

aww was he nice to you?

[urworstnightmare123]

i saw it yesterday with omid djalili as fagin. From what I've seen here, Rowan was better.

[teddycatx]

i saw it this saturday, was amazing!

I thought Omid was brilliant, so funny!! :L

[Dedicationtomusic]

I think Omid was better. but that's just me.

Was Ian Jervis Mr. Bumble? My mum is best friends with him.

[popmusicno1fan]

mr bumble is played by julius d'silva

[Dedicationtomusic]

Ian Jervis was first cover for mr. Bumble and when I went it was him doing it. Mum has known him since Collage.

[RachieBumham]

Definately. I know they're both comedians, but it seemed that Rowan took it more seriously. There was no serious side to Fagin when I saw Omid play him. oxoxox

[0720jackie]

rowan was excellent especially the jewel box moment with pearl and ruby. a real mr.bean moment, my little boy loved it.

[popmusicno1fan]

i loved that bit as well

[popmusicno1fan]

i saw one of mr atkinson's last performances last saturday im glad we saw him again he rocked once again :D

[patsyscorpion]

I saw it two weeks ago: Absolutely fabulous and Rowan Atkinson rocks!!!

[popmusicno1fan]

woooo i'm going again on saturday that's rowan's last performance in this show ever :D

[popmusicno1fan]

the musical is finishing in september and i was looking for more tickets the other night but we cant get any good ones and i really wanted to see rowan again as i know youre not gonna be able to ever do that again in 100000 years

[CaptainKangaroo1]

Great show, shame about the ancient un-airconditioned oven of a theatre it's in.

[hezzabubs93]

ha i tried to record some, put my cardigan infront of the camera screen instead though lol. harry doesn't play oliver anymore right?:( i went yesterday, saw gwion & robert madge so was pretty chuffed :D haha i tried to take a picture but forgot it was on flash. oops =/

nice video btw :) ♥

[Danturner99]

they have 3 sets of kids to act, presumably so they dont miss loads of school!

[11falloutboyfan11]

yeah and it would get pretty tiring doing 2/3 shows a day

[popmusicno1fan]

actually i think its illegal to have one set of kids or one kid playing one character each performance

[popmusicno1fan]

and rowan atkinson is funny in this :D

[popmusicno1fan]

were you up on the balcony when you filmed this? we sat there

[DramaQueen1844]

Saw this on Saturday AMAZING Rowan Atkinson was unbeleivable an Jodie was amazing I would love to see it again

[urworstnightmare123]

I'm going on the 22nd, I'm gutted because rowan's not doing it anymore then!

[DramaQueen1844]

Yeah i know we could have got dicounted tickets but it was in September so i moaned becuase Rowan wasn't going to be doing it then so i got tickets for my bday

[Dalek1230]

it is one of the best theatre performances i have ever seen

[popmusicno1fan]

we might be going to see it again soon i would love to anyway but its a bit of a shame it is rowan atkinson's last night soon, he was soooo good in the show :)

[XxelliiixX]

I went to see this absolutley AMAZING!!!!

Rowan Atkinson was great!! Everyone was

[popmusicno1fan]

i saw this on stage a few months ago everyone clapped rowan before he said hardly anything lol :) i loved the show rowan is brilliant

[stem2k7]

i seen that 2 daqys ago! :)

[jesusfreakmusic]

You could have bought a CD ofcourse...

Could be possible...

If they sell them.. I can't find them ;-)

[ilovebgt]

omg i cud report u 2 the theatre coz ur not allowed 2 video this.

[DanielWhit]

to be absolutely honest - it'll make more people go and see it rather than less - its publicity for a exceptional performance

[Maxdamantus]

Hehe. I saw this a few months ago when we were in London. Atkinson was great.

[lupusoliverfab]

harry is sooooooooo cute

[licklestarlet]

Previews are to guage audience reaction and give the director the option to make adjustments if something doesn't work. Press night should be the show at its best. xxx

[babyminor1]

Previews are meant to be less rehersed than after press night and they're more like a practice than they would be after press night

[iloveit87]

is this not illegal?

[jesusfreakmusic]

Yes.

:P

[iloveit87]

fair enough then :)

[ilovebgt]

it is

[WomanInYellow]

I want to see it even more now!

[wankerIam]

I saw it last night with rowan it was bloody great

[lupusoliverfab]

i love harry

[heyhey88ooooo]

thats umm harry right??????????????

[bcoy1para]

saw it last night! abbot was fantastic , i was anoyed that rowan atkinson wasnt performing but once abbot was on stage he made fagin his own, GREAT SHOW!

[mandrogi]

i traveled from Greece to London for five days and i saw it with russ abbott...I was dissapointed when i learned adout Atkinson's sickness because i wanted so much to see him on stage, but Abbott was very-very good...

[pollywales]

meant jody soz

[pollywales]

saw oliver on sat 18th at 7.30

what a wonderfull production. any one know who was the artfull dodger as he stole the show. judy and little gwion were fab also. loved russ abbott as fagin very funny. go see it

[ceribob]

if you saw gwion then robert madge was most likely dodger as they're part of the same team :) they're who i saw too

[mariposa83]

I saw the same team as well...I can't even imagine a better performance :D

[kawoody84]

Yeah I saw it last night too - amazing and better than the production ten years ago. Russ was fab but wondered what Rowan was like so thanks for posting :)

[AngelPixieGal]

I went to see this yesterday, with Russ Abbot as Fagin because Rowan is out :( But he was excellent too! :D

Thanks for posting this as I wanted to see him as Fagin - this show is absolutely fanastic!

[rakista0708]

[eastendersroxyrules]

i went on a skwl trip to london because we are doing oliver in school rowan was amzing. He was so funny

[Iloveponies123456]

OMG-harry quit oliver because he wants to be in roman mysteries!!!

[pinkpwincess2007]

how do you know that?

[melinaemilymay]

That's not true.

[Kyrano]

why have you gone on every video of the oliver musical and put the same thing, thats relaly lame

[sonicx666]

its true! he did!

roman mysteries is SHIT!

and the part he will play is a mute!

sound like such fun! :s

[pinkpwincess2007]

Roman Mysteries is not shit, its actually really good if you watch it properly. And no it isnt true! He finishes Oliver in July so stop lying.

[sonicx666]

i didnt say when he was stopping did i!

i know hes stopping then!

still, i wouldnt drop a bug theatre role to be a mute in an over rated tv show!

[broadwayfan45]

do they all finish in July? they have not been in the show long

[IDALover12]

harry hasnt quit oliver his contract runs out in august he was suppose to stop in march but it got exstended there just lying

[LOLZARKID]

i saw that show he was increible

[thevidfather]

Saw it a couple days ago! Great show! Rowan Atkinson was hilarious!

[aljohu09]

We're going to see Oliver on sat 7th March - evening performance. Ay ideas on who will be playing oliver and Dodger?

[OliverCrazy09]

Rowan Atkinson Was Amazing!!! He Was Sooo Funny!!! Best Person In The Whole Show!!!:)

[xxmakeup101xx]

record reviewing the situation next time u go and consider yourself, and thats your funeral.

[Ken220280]

This show is amazing - love Rowan in the role! If you haven't already then go and see it! If you have seen it then see it again!

[Jodie1995sox]

nere the ned fagan sounds like misster bean lol i no it is him but his voice was goin into it lol

[Kimberleg]

I'm sure Rowan was a great actor and great as Fagin, but I'm not so sure about the singing :-S

that's my only concern

Omad Djalili is gonna take over after Rowan

[RedKingCommandz]

lol yerr but i reckon that his voice shows how the real fagin would actually have sung

lol his dancing at the end was gret! Rowan Atkinson is a legend

The only guy that could top him in this role is Ron Moody himself!

[Kimberleg]

No-one can do it better than Ron Moody.

"i reckon that his voice shows how the real fagin would actually have sung" - a most interesting argument ^^ lol

[imasmurf93]

I went to see this yesterday, It was brilliant

[dewytje]

Me too!

It was amazing:D

[cdb2000]

I can't approve of illegal recording but I went last night and it was absolutley fantastic. Anyone watching this video, put your hand in your pocket and go and see the show, it's incredible!

[MoonStarDragon77]

Oh man, this would be sooo awesome to go to! unfortunately I'm all the way over here in the US... perhaps I can make it this summer. Just curious: is it possible to meet Rowan Atkinson at the stage door, or do they whisk him away as soon as the show's over?

[EmilyAtalar]
