UPDATE!
I saw an amateur production of Oliver! by the same group that did the
version of Carousel which I saw, and it had a lot of the same performers.
For the first time, I actually arrived late to a musical, and missed the opening minute
or so! I was very impressed with the effort put it to the costumes and the scenery,
it was visually really good. It was a confident performance too, with no mistakes, and
everyone did well. The boy playing Oliver had been in the West End production. The
highlight though was Nancy, who was played by a 15 year old girl who had been in
Whistle Down the Wind. She had one of the best voices I've ever heard, and her acting
was great too, I think she could do really well in the West End.
Here are the songs and how much I enjoyed them:
