I took my mum to see “Oliver” in the West End a couple of months back (tickets kindly supplied by the Maestro). Sod’s law being the way it is, he was conspicuous by his absence! Mr Lewis was taking a break from the show, touring with Jeff Wayne’s “War of the Worlds” which is another story to finish next week!
The show was incredible – performances, sets, music, in fact you can virtually sing along all the way thru, the songs are so memorable. After the gig, with two daft grins on our faces, we nipped out of the theatre and began trying desperately to flag down a cab to take us to the station. This turned out to be pretty near impossible with all the crowds streaming out of the theatres. I looked anxiously around and much to my mum’s horror, spotted and started to haggle with one of those crazy rickshaw guys. Well, how funny! We jumped aboard and the driver careered out confidently into the busy street, pedalling and weaving breathtakingly through the traffic. He negotiated the roundabout at the top of Park Lane magnificently, crossing lanes as if he were the only vehicle in town and although it was pretty dark, mum’s white knuckles shone out against the London skyline helping to light our way. My mum has never forgiven me by the way, but my sisters both mentioned in confidence that she boasts about our little trip at the slightest opportunity.
Click on the link below to see a wonderful preview of the show. And YES!! That is the REAL Oliver, our very own OLIVER LEWIS playing violin on top of the table! Sing along now.... "Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah! That's how it goes....."
