Cameron Mackintosh to Bring OLIVER! Back to Broadwayby BWW News Desk - Jun 18, 2013Today, Michael Riedel reports that in addition to upcoming productions of MISS SAIGON, BARNUM and a Broadway return of LES MIS that 'As if three shows weren't enough, Mackintosh is also planning a Broadway revival of "Oliver!"

BWW Reviews: 4 STARS Concert With Lea, Sierra, Ramin, And Yuby Oliver Oliveros - Jun 17, 2013Putting together on one stage Lea Salonga, Ramin Karimloo, and Sierra Boggess sounds such a completely stellar idea; but, when examined closely, it is quite tricky.
