"She's seriously considering it"

Adele is reportedly being lined up to star in a new adaptation of iconic musical Oliver!.

The singer is said to be in talks with West End impresario Sir Cameron Mackintosh about the prospect of playing Nancy, the girlfriend of nefarious villain Bill Sykes in the musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’s classic novel.

According to The Sun, the singer sees the role as a “new challenge” and a role that could be enjoyed by her four-year-old son, Angelo.

“It would be a major part for her and she’s seriously considering it”, a source told the newspaper.

“She’s talked about Angelo being her number one priority and she sees this as a role that he could appreciate too. It would be a new challenge for her but one that she would definitely be up for.”
