A Message from Cameron Mackintosh Ltd
As performances do not commence until 12 December, we do not yet have a full confirmed performance schedule for Nancy and Oliver.
Due to licensing issues we cannot decide which Oliver will perform until shortly before the performance starts.
Sickness and holiday permitting, we have decided that the winning Nancy, Jodie Prenger, is scheduled to perform on Monday and Tuesday evenings, Wednesday matinees, Friday evenings and Saturday matinees and evenings. Until the show opens in December we cannot make a final decision on any additional performances.
