Time Out says

Rupert Goold and Matthew Bourne's revival took £15m at the box office before it even opened, helped by the fact that Rowan Atkinson starred as Fagin (a role now played by comedian/actor Omid Djalili, a cuddly Jewish caricature who injects an enjoyably wild sense of comedy into the part). Jodie Prenger plays Nancy thanks to a poll of TV viewers and the first night audience applauded the stars just for coming on stage. But that clapping doesn't help a production that already feels like a series of variety turns.
