The kid playing Oliver is perfect. Oliver isn't supposed to be emotional. He isn't supposed to be super expressive. That's Dodger's character. Gwion captures the Oliver character perfectly. I agree, that the Dodger here is superb and Jodie is great as Nancy as well.
MrOrigi. Sure to sing Where is love you don't need to be emotional . I wonder if you have read the novel. Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens . Charles Dickens's Oliver is very emotional. I have nothing against Gwion but I don't think he was made to play Oliver. Anyway that was 11 years ago.
@@aquarius4953 Seems like the more widely acceptable approach to the role of Oliver is "less is more", which is exactly what Gwion did here, letting his eyes & vocal phrasing do the heavy lifting
@punkeDeMo The kid playing Dodger had a rather big role in Les Mis last year in it's anniversary showing-he is a star! He was amazing in Les Miserables, I recognised him immeadiately. He is fabulous, I have to agree!
dude this musical is my childhood and i’ve been wanting to see it live for so long, but it got cancelled because of the pandemic 😭 watching this hits different now
if you think there's someone better, tell me and tell me where to find him but I've never heard anyone sing where is love better than the way gwion sings it here.. it's so powerful
Gregory Bradley one of the Olivers in 1994 was by far much better than Gwion. On youTube Where is love the single Gregory Bradley or Oliver 1994 . The girl ( I don't know her name) who sings instead of Marks Lester in the 1968 movie is also better than Gwion. Even Laurence was better than him. I would have like to see Chester in this role.
@riftintimeandspace i wanted to see Robert Madge but i found out that he left know..i don't live in england so i can't go watch any musicals!!! Its wonderful to hear that he was amazing!
@punkeDeMo As another poster has already said, Gwion has improved very, very much since this November 2008 TV show. Search for his final rendition of Where Is Love at The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, which took place on January 8, 2011. There´s plenty of emotion in it - he shows Oliver´s sadness (as nobody seems to like Oliver), but also Oliver´s determination to find someone who will love him (or at least respect his dignity).
I have to admit, Jodie is a lot better than I anticipated. I liked her on I'd Do Anything, but she really does do a good job. Gwion still needs work. Who is the Dodger? He really is quite good.
The problem with Marks Lester was unable to sing. In Oliver 1968 it is a girl who was chosen to sing instead of him. In my opinion Gregory Bradley Oliver 1994 was by far better than Marks Lester at least he could sing in a theatre.
omg the kid who is dodger is reallllllllly!!!!!!! good!!!!!!!!!!!! reallly reallly reallly reallly really reallly reallly goood! you can tell gwion has been working on his accent! he looks soo cute! were the other boys from the competion there too ? i wish this show would come to australia!!!!
They did! It’s Rob Madge they made it to stage two so got filmed but unfortunately not the live shows, they still act now and also wrote their own show that just finished a short run on the west end
Yeah I agre Ringo. I voted for Jessie too but even she admits that not winning was a good thing cause Nancy isn't exactly the most prestigious role ever. Jessie's career will go alot further than Jodie Prenger's!
Urgh I hated when they showed the IDA clip, I dont wanna be reminded of that moment lol But other than Jodie being there I thought the show looked quite good. And my friend's litle brother is one of the boys, he was in Food Glorious Food, how cute!
Anyone else here from seeing rob on tiktok
the dodger is played by robert madge, and he played gavroche in the 25th anniversary of les mis, my fave.
Selene Thanatos im so obsessed with the les mis 25 th anniversary and there's this event happening and im nancy from Oliver
Elia Carbonaro what is their @ ?
Cannot beat Les mis
the boy playing dodger is an incredible actor! xx
To all you tiktokkers! It’s Rob Madge
I agree
This Dodger is exceptional 👍🏼👍🏼
Ross McCormack was much better.
@@MarkHarrison733 No, not at all. I like Robert a lot more. He is the best I have ever seen in this role.
@@steffik.5904 Madge was too effeminate.
@@steffik.5904 Did you see both?
I love how he kept his welsh accent

Where is Gwion from his name sounds he is from wales
@@jonahsgang8830 he is
He does get more emotional in this recording. m.czcams.com/video/ISm-yqOPYMo/video.html

This has to be my all time favorite musical. I never get tired of watching different performances of it.
@punkeDeMo The kid playing Dodger had a rather big role in Les Mis last year in it's anniversary showing-he is a star! He was amazing in Les Miserables, I recognised him immeadiately. He is fabulous, I have to agree!
CAN ANY ONE TELL ME WHY I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS DODGER AHH
I know he is so adorable
I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL I'M OBSESSED HES SO ADORABLE
Rob Madge is hilarious
So glad they showed Gwion! He was the only one of three chosen ones I was supporting! Go Gwion, you little cutie!
Excellent. Oliver does it with his eyes.
These boys . . They know just what they're doing! Not a whit of indecisiveness or doubt of their words or part
dude this musical is my childhood and i’ve been wanting to see it live for so long, but it got cancelled because of the pandemic 😭 watching this hits different now
_Robert Madge is the best Dodger I've ever seen!!! Great job!!
You clearly have never sen Jack Wild , you silly girl !
@@fredarcher7264 Ross McCormack was better than either of them.
Very good performance of oliver the musical
So much talent in these kids!
Oliver! Is my favorite musical :)
Such a beautiful musical ❤️.
Beautiful performance!
These actors are amazing
This was so heartwarming I had to purchase the movie from CZcams films 🎥
I'm seeing this!! I can't wait!!
the little kiddies are soo cute
Happy to see two of the 12 boys from I’d do anything, who did not get Oliver, in the background 2:32 and 6:13
Yep; Johnny and Jordan! Most if not all of those competitors were cast either in the ensemble or Fagin’s gang
@@matildageek8269 That’s great. Do you know if anyone wasn’t cast?
@@Ellers-tc3ff It would depend on if they took it since it wasn’t the lead. I know that most did!
I saw Alexander, not Jonny
Love it
if you think there's someone better, tell me and tell me where to find him but I've never heard anyone sing where is love better than the way gwion sings it here.. it's so powerful

Awesome
oh and this dodger is awesome!!! he really steals the spotlight from gwion
"What you staring at?"
"Mind your own beezwax, Dodge." :)
Looks good! Wish I could see it.
105th comment! Also this looks really good. I know I’m like 15 years later or something but I’m doing Oliver as a play❤❤🎉

yes jordan li-smith is playing charlie bates in the musical
to think this artful dodger ended up working with samantha barks a few years later as the thenardier siblings in les mis 25th
Robert Madge (Dodger) has done very well for themself.
How?
He looks 45 now.
I have to admit, Jodie is a lot better than I anticipated. I liked her on I'd Do Anything, but she really does do a good job. Gwion still needs work. Who is the Dodger? He really is quite good.
half of the workhouse boys were on i'd do anything
Nobody will ever take marks place but this oliver sang his own parts.
The problem with Marks Lester was unable to sing. In Oliver 1968 it is a girl who was chosen to sing instead of him. In my opinion Gregory Bradley Oliver 1994 was by far better than Marks Lester at least he could sing in a theatre.
omg
the kid who is dodger is reallllllllly!!!!!!! good!!!!!!!!!!!!
reallly reallly reallly reallly really reallly reallly goood!
you can tell gwion has been working on his accent! he looks soo cute!
were the other boys from the competion there too ?
i wish this show would come to australia!!!!
Yes most were cast in either Fagin’s gang or ensemble! You can see Johnny in the centre at the beginning and Jordan is in the blue in Fagin’s gang
@@matildageek8269I saw Alexander but not Johnny
❤
We just had a grandchild....oliver....consider yourself one of us.
I love Gwion :)
Robert Madge best ever!
@punkeDeMo Have you seen the Les Miserables O2 concert recording?
Look who is playing Gavroche, the little boy :D
I swear that the artful dodger auditioned to be an Oliver in I’d do anything
No he didn't but he helped them with one of the challenges 😊 he was in Les miserables at the time
They did! It’s Rob Madge they made it to stage two so got filmed but unfortunately not the live shows, they still act now and also wrote their own show that just finished a short run on the west end
@@charliehuxley6546You're thinking of Daniel Barber. Rob Madge was in the Les Mis 25th anniversary production also playing Gavroche
why is you tube taking all the videos off ???
Jordan Li smith witch part in Oliver did you play in London
LOL HER REACTION
Gwion was the one I wanted to see ^_^
Hello Terry😊
@Balletgirl7100
yeah it is
I hope that Laurence do the RVP, he has the nicest singing voice
I voted Jessie too :D
She will be WAY bigger
oliver and dodger are so cute!!! :D and I just love Jodie
I wanted Jessie to win all through the competition but Jodie is also really good
At the west end there doing oliver twist and I'm the artful dodger
Home
Home from Food from love rachel xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
has the final show come out yet?
who plays dodger
Yeah I agre Ringo. I voted for Jessie too but even she admits that not winning was a good thing cause Nancy isn't exactly the most prestigious role ever.
Jessie's career will go alot further than Jodie Prenger's!
Love from you from from my house 🏠 ❤️ 💕 ♥️ 💛 💙 🏠 ❤️ 💕 and phone is still a 😅
Just beautiful that was.
I guess they all grown up now.
I wonder what happened to Gwion ? Did he further his musical career ?
No.
My son is named after the oliver film .
Nope oliver Reed,I loved the name oliver x
DANIEL
isnt dodger also gavroce in les mis
Urgh I hated when they showed the IDA clip, I dont wanna be reminded of that moment lol
But other than Jodie being there I thought the show looked quite good. And my friend's litle brother is one of the boys, he was in Food Glorious Food, how cute!
i was one of the workhouse kids too lol
What is Childen in need?
It's a televisual outlet for stagey kids, who would otherwise have no means of expressing their need to sing and dance to a mass audience.
but i wanted samantha to win ):
Was that much cleavage on Nancy really necessary? Or even representative of how Victorian ladies-for-hire dressed?
She looked too clean and tidy, and large.
