| Oliver!
is the musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic tale of an orphan
who runs away from the orphanage and hooks up with a group of boys
trained to be pickpockets by an elderly mentor. Oliver is sold to
a Dunstable undertaker after asking for more dinner at the orphanage.
Escaping to London, he is taken in by Fagin to join his gang of child
pickpockets. Wrongly accused of a theft, he meets a more kindly gentleman
who takes him in, to the concern of one of Fagin's old pupils, the
violent Bill Sykes. In the middle is Nancy, Sykes' girl, whom Oliver
has come to trust. Songs include: Consider Yourself, Where is Love,
As Long as He Needs Me, and Who Will Buy. Parts include Oliver Twist,
a workhouse boy about 13 years old; Fagin, an elderly receiver who
runs a training academy for young pickpockets; The Artful Dodger,
Fagin's brightest pupil; Nancy, a graduate of Fagin's academy, and
many others. Join us this summer to see the musical sensation, Oliver! |
