Noah Parets has written in his blog about his experience in Trinity Rep's production of Oliver! as it begins its last week. The post includes a link to a video produced by our local cable company here in RI. The video, which features directors Richard and Sharon Jenkins and a couple of Trinity's long time superb adult actors who star in the show, is an excellent account of how they put together this very successful version of the show. It's well worth a look.

I love Oliver! It's the first musical I ever seen. I've seen it quite a few times over the years; I saw both Sally Dexter and Ruthie Henshall play Nancy, and they both went on to be Mrs Wilkinson. Who's next ... Kerry Ellis, come on!

When I was just a Wee Ickle Oli, and if I were naughty, my dad would walk me down the street and sing Boy For Sale at the top of his lungs. Looking back I bet people thought he was a loon, but I was always terrified someone would buy me :p
