OLIVER!

Music, Lyrics and Book by Lionel Hart
Based on the novel by Charles Dickens

Oliver is presented through special arrangement with Tams-Witmark Musical Library.

Directed by Pamela Lehan-Siegel

In Victorian England, Oliver Twist is the name given by a warden to a boy born in the workhouse orphanage. Now an adolescent, Oliver, who has never felt loved or accepted, manages to escape from both the harsh workhouse and his equally harsh placements "for sale". Managing to make his way to London, Oliver is welcomed into a group of other young boys, headed by the Artful Dodger, who "make wallets" under the direction of Fagin. What Oliver is initially unaware of is that they are really a band of pickpockets. One of Fagin's associates is the violent Bill Sykes, whose girlfriend, Nancy, is devoted to him despite his abuse of her. Oliver looks to Nancy as his one true friend. Bill sees Oliver as both an asset and a liability, but one that needs to be kept enslaved under his direction. Nancy has to decide whether to be loyal to Bill, or do what is best for Oliver by helping him escape. With famous songs like "Food, Glorious, Food" and "Who Will Buy?", Oliver! is a musical you will long remember.
