Who Played Mr. Sowerberry in Oliver!

Mr. Sowerberry is a role in Oliver!, a musical that opened Broadway in 1984.

Freely adapted from <i>Oliver Twist</i> by Charles Dickens<p>Nothing is as thrilling on the stage as a well-crafted tale, and Oliver! is just such a show. Based on the Dickens novel, it engages with its pathos and drama, while delighting everyone with the musical numbers "Food, Glorious Food," "I'd Do Anything," "Where is Love?," "Consider Yourself," "As Long As He Needs Me," and "Who Will Buy." Dickens' characters are brought to life-perhaps larger than life-with all their facets glowing in this production.
