Adele may play Nancy in Toby Haynes' remake of Oliver Twist musical — only if she auditions
Reportedly, the producers know she has a 'world class voice' but want to see if she can sustain that while acting and dancing.

Adele has made her mark as one of the successful pop stars of her time and has won an Oscar for her languish Bond theme 'Skyfall'. And while she has proved her mettle in the music industry, her lack of experience in movies is why she will have to audition for the part just like everyone else.
