Oliver

Be transported to 1830s London in Oliver!, Lionel Bart’s iconic musical that has been revised in an all-new production by Cameron Mackintosh with director and choreographer Matthew Bourne.

Oliver! in London is based on Charles Dickens’s 1838 novel, Oliver Twist. The musical tells the classic tale of a young orphan, Oliver Twist, who is seeking a home and family. Things aren’t easy on the streets of London, and soon enough, Oliver becomes part of a gang of child pickpockets. The musical examines the London underworld through a child’s perspective and explores themes of friendship, good vs. evil, poverty, and crime.

This exciting new revival boasts a stellar cast, including Simon Lipkin (Guys and Dolls, The Beaker Girls) as Fagin and Aaron Sidwell (EastEnders, Wicked) as Bill Sikes. The role of Oliver Twist is shared by Jack Philpott (The Witches, Matilda), Raphael Korniets (The Snowman), and Cian Eagle-Service (The Witches, Les Misérables).

With a captivating story and an exceptional score, including songs such as Food Glorious Food, I’d Do Anything, and Consider Yourself, it’s no wonder that over 60 years after it premiered, Oliver! is still a hit with audiences.
