Set in Victorian London, Oliver! tells the story of young orphan Oliver Twist, who dares to ask for more and is thrust into a world filled with both hardship and hope. From the grim confines of the workhouse to the bustling backstreets where he meets the charismatic Artful Dodger and the cunning Fagin, Oliver’s journey introduces him to an unforgettable cast of characters, including the kind-hearted Mr Brownlow, the fierce and loving Nancy, and the menacing Bill Sikes. 

Featuring favourite songs such as Food, Glorious Food, Consider Yourself, and As Long As He Needs Me, Oliver! is packed with heart, humour, and high energy. 

This production showcases the extraordinary talent within our community, brought to life with lively choreography, striking sets, and a live orchestra. Well-known local performers return to the stage, along with the introduction of lots of new talent!  Proudly directed by Helen Horsnell, with musical direction by Samuel Leaper and choreography by Anna Stuart; along with assistance from Sonya Creedy and Shannon Bond, Oliver! promises a truly memorable show for audiences of all ages.
