Photo Flash: First Look at LRT's Upcoming Production of OLIVER

In an effort to truly live up to its name, Little Radical Theatrics will be bringing to Westchester a wildly theatrical, moving, and innovative retelling of one of musical theater's most celebrated classics, Lionel Bart's OLIVER! Check out a first look below!

Utilizing the iconic Charles Dickens novel, embracing the darkness and grittiness of his original text, we will begin at the end. With the aid of an ensemble cast, a stark, minimalist set, and the limitless possibilities of imagination, we enter a lonely, condemned cell in Newgate Prison, wherein the 70-year-old Fagin spends his last two hours alive before his execution being haunted by the people and events that led to his inevitable demise. The timeless story of the young orphan boy navigating through the seedy underbelly of London's crime world will be turned on its head.

Starring: John Palacio as Fagin, Ruth Kenote as Nancy, Carter Appleyard as Oliver, Bretten Popiel as Dodger, John Hartigan James Maguire as Mr Bumble. Stephanie Lourenco as Widow Corney, Gabbie Sansone as Bet, Thomas Losito as MR.
