Oliver!

Event Description

Oliver! is a beloved musical based on Charles Dickens’ classic novel Oliver Twist . It follows the journey of a young orphan, Oliver, as he escapes a harsh workhouse and navigates the streets of Victorian London. Along the way, he encounters colorful characters like the charming but cunning Artful Dodger, the menacing Fagin, and the kind-hearted Nancy. With its memorable songs like Consider Yourself and As Long As He Needs Me, the show blends heart, humor, and adventure.

Oliver! is a fantastic fit for our community, offering opportunities for performers of all ages while celebrating themes of resilience, kindness, and the power of found family—values that resonate deeply with our audiences. Its rich ensemble cast and timeless story make it a perfect choice to bring our community together through the magic of musical theatre.

Please Note: The Role of Oliver is Double Cast
In the spirit of care and support for our youngest performers, the role of Oliver is shared between two talented young actors. At this age, the demands of such a large role can be intense, and we want to ensure each performer has the opportunity to shine while maintaining balance and well-being.

Each Oliver brings their own unique charm and interpretation to the stage. If you’re attending to support a specific performer, please check which Oliver is featured in your performance. We also encourage you to experience both—each performance offers a fresh perspective and the same heartwarming story.
