Fixed Reviewing this morning; slowed it all down a bit so it's easier to sing and understand. During rehearsal we talked over Act Two of the dress rehearsal as there were a few minor slip ups; all seems sorted now though. ^^ During Drama after school my drama coach and I finalized my soliloquy; it's now much shorter but methinks even funnier. XD We've interpreted Fagin in this scene as being like a little kid with his toys; I particularly ham it up with the tiara which is sure to get a lot of laughs, chuckling and clapping my hands in a very childlike manner. I think this interpretation rings true in other scenes too as Fagin is generally larking about with the lads not to mention telling Oliver it's 'Just a game!' Also I make a joke about a fake pearl market that all the expatriates have visit at one point or another; I'm afraid you'd only really understand the joke if you live here m'dears. It's quite hilarious though, I must say. ^^
