Consider yourself at home with Lionel Bart's classic musical based on the Charles Dickens novel, Oliver Twist, last performed at the Kitsap Forest Theater in 2004. This Tony and Olivier Award-winning show is one of the few musicals to win an Academy Award for Best Picture and is widely hailed as a true theatrical masterpiece by actors and audience members alike. This well-crafted tale of love, hope and dreams engages audiences with its pathos and drama, while delighting everyone with its outstanding musical theater classics such as Food, Glorious Food, I’d Do Anything, Where is Love?, Consider Yourself, Who Will Buy and Reviewing the Situation.
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 a musical theatre masterpiece, perfectly showcasing the talents of a large ensemble cast as they bring these classic characters and score to life.
