Show Notes Chapter Markers

Oliver's theatre credits include playing Fiyero in Wicked (10th Anniversary Cast) and Gideon in Sting's musical The Last Ship (Toronto).

Oliver played Rum Tum Tugger in the UK tour of Cats and understudied Raoul in The Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty’s Theatre. He has also been in Les Misérables, Mamma Mia, Monkee Business, Knights Of The Rose and Company.

Oliver is currently playing Whizzer in Falsettos by William Finn and James Lapine which is receiving its UK premiere at The Other Palace. 

In this episode of In The Frame, Oliver speaks about what makes Falsettos such a beautiful show, why it was such a complex piece to learn and how it feels to be taking on such a different role. 

He also discusses making the step up to become a leading man, his relationship with social media and – most importantly – the evolution of his iconic hair styles.

Falsettos runs at The Other Palace until Saturday 23rd November. Please visit www.falsettoslondon.com for info and tickets.
