I’d Do Anything: Alexander through to Semi Final!

The fifth prospective Oliver to secure a place in the semi-final was announced today (Saturday 26 April) on BBC One’s I’d Do Anything.

He is 11-year-old Alexander from London.

Apart from becoming Oliver, Alex would like to be a barrister because he’s interested in law. He’s also a Bon Jovi fan.

Alex would love to act as Oliver opposite Robbie Williams playing Fagin.

Already through to the semi-final are 11-year-old Gwion from Carmarthenshire; 12-year-old Chester from Middlesex; 10-year-old Arthur from Bristol; and 13-year-old Kwayedza from Kent.

All 12 boys sang It’s a Hard Knock Life from Annie in tonight’s show.

Previously they had been monitored and mentored in an on- going process during which both Andrew Lloyd Webber and Cameron Mackintosh continue to assess their individual progress.

Three boys will succeed in their quest to win the title role in Cameron Mackintosh’s new West End production of Oliver!
