It’s an all-star cast with David in the mix after arriving at today's first rehearsal – not to mention Rita and Sir Michael Caine.'In the new production, Oliver and Dodge get caught up in a heist to steal a priceless painting for master thief, Fagin.

'I’m really looking forward to working with Lena, Raff and the rest of the cast in London when we start shooting.' Rafferty added: 'I’m excited to play such a well-loved literary character. I’m looking forward to working with Martin Owen to bring to life his new take on the character in modern-day London.'
