THE producers of
'Oliver' to be staged in Buncrana have just revealed
the principal cast for the musical to be staged
later this year.
Oliver will be played by Emer McLaughlin and Jessica
McShane while the Artful Dodger will be played by
Niamh McGonagle and Jack Shallow. Charlie Bates will
be brought to life by Fionan Bradley and Luke Timlin
while Fagin will be played by Gerrard O'Neill. |
And while it took them
weeks and much heartache to find Nancy on the BBC's
'I'd Do Anything', the local producers, Greasepaint,
were lucky enough to find their perfect Nancy in the
guise of Maureen Loughrey and Emma Porter.
Meanwhile, the rest of the principal cast are as
follows: Bet – Aileen Henderson/Cheryl Rainey; Bill
Sykes – Phil Ruddock; |

Mr Bumble – Brendan
Fletcher; Widow Corney – Clare O'Donnell; Mr
Sowerberry – Karl McCarron; Mrs Sowerberry – Sue
Doherty; Mr Brownlow – John Collins; Charlotte –
Shauna McKinley; Noah – Emile Rainey; Mrs Bedwin -
Maria Doherty; Dr. Grimwig – Donal Kearney and Sally
– Lisa Gallagher.
Ensemble pieces will include Karl McCarron, Liz
O'Donnell, Michael Fisher, Danielle Bradley, Philip
Doherty, Roxanna Farren, Andrew McCracken and Sheila
McCarthy.
A spokeperson for the producers said: "Please note,
we still need new faces for the adult chorus and
more details will follow to advise of rehearsal
schedules.
"The children's chorus has not yet been finalised
given that we have to cut it down dramatically. It's
not a nice job, but we had 86 children audition and
unfortunately we only have places for 40." |
