Ziegfeld Theater Stages Classic Musical OLIVER!

Broadway brings Charles Dickens' novel to life in this Tony and Olivier Award-winning musical about an orphan boy on his quest to find love and family. Equal parts charming and sober, Oliver! is widely hailed as a true theatrical masterpiece by actors and family audiences alike.

The streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse, becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker. Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance amongst 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 directed by Hugh Hanson, music directed by Kyle Lawrence and choreographed by Bryan Andrews.
