OLIVER

Normanton Musical Theatre Society opened their post pandemic activities with a production of Oliver always a popular choice with both the society members and audiences with so many well loved parts and dance routines to perform. The casting was very good in the major roles and well backed up by all the supporting cast members, Jenny Waring as Oliver performed with confidence and sung her songs very well as did Brad Shaw-Sullivan as The Artful Dodger he gained confidence as the performance progressed regretably both the above were on the outer limits both height and agewise for their roles. Michael Tattersall as Mr. Bumble and Sharon Fry as Widow Corney both enjoyed their roles especially in the eye catching number 'I Shall Scream' . Jake Cunningham as Fagin gave a very fine acting portrayal of the role and displayed an excellent singing voice. Victoria Wilkinson was indeed a super Nancy in a role most suitable to her acting talents and wonderful voice sung with just the right accent for the part. The very good looking stage set along with the good lighting and sound and well organised costumes did much for this production.
