I was in a production that interpolated ten minutes of Christmas carols into the thing. I thought the audiences would find it interminable (it’s already a long show) but they ate it up.

I would also say that when I've done the show, I've insisted (always with agreement from the directors) that it end with Fagin. Then a traditional curtain call, and that's it. None of this stuff with the boys running back on singing "Food Glorious Food" and a full company "sing" as was originally written. So not necessary, and it totally negates the more dramatic and beautifully unresolved ending of Act II.
