The classic Dickens story of orphan Oliver Twist's adventures returns to Music On Stage to close out our 69th season!

 

The story follows the titular orphan, who, after having been raised in a harsh workhouse, escapes to 1830s London where he's taken in by a gang of pickpockets, led by the elderly criminal Fagin, who discovers the secret of Oliver's parentage. Through it all, Oliver never loses his innocence as he dreams of a better life. Featuring themes of courage, determination, and the enduring power of love, "Oliver!" is a heartwarming show with a classic Golden Age score, featuring standards such as "Where Is Love," "I'd Do Anything," and "As Long as He Needs Me" that you'll be sure to love all over again.

Consider yourself invited to this charming, poignant, and Tony-award winning musical that's sure to steal your heart. You won't want to miss this touching and heartfelt show!

“Lionel Bart’s Oliver!” is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
