“Oliver!”

Join us for this FREE event! Lionel Bart’s classic musical, based on the Charles Dickens novel, “Oliver Twist,” tells the story of Oliver, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse who becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker. Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance among a group of petty thieves and pickpockets led by the elderly Fagin. When Oliver is captured for a theft that he did not commit, the benevolent victim, Mr. Brownlow, takes him in. Fearing the safety of his hideout, Fagin employs the sinister Bill Sikes and the sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back, threatening Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of a family. “Oliver!” is a musical theatre masterpiece, perfectly showcasing the talents of a large ensemble cast as they bring these classic characters and a classic score to life.
