Escaping to London he is taken in by Fagin to join his gang of child pickpockets.

Quote from Cameron Mackintosh
I'm really delighted that Kerry Ellis will take over the role of Nancy when Jodie leaves Oliver! after a triumphant 15 month run. Kerry has become one of London's favourite leading ladies and recently enjoyed a huge success in "Wicked". I have had the pleasure of seeing Kerry's career grow through roles in my productions of "My Fair Lady", "Miss Saigon" and "Les Misérables" - where she was an outstanding Fantine. The part of Nancy is one of the most heart-warming and tragic in any musical, so it is wonderful that the role attracts some great talents.
