OLIVER!
Music, Lyrics and Book by Lionel Bart
Directed by Marti McWilliams

Based on the Dickens novel, OLIVER! will engage your audience with its pathos and drama, while delighting everyone with its outstanding musical numbers. Food, Glorious Food, I'd Do Anything, Where is Love?, Consider Yourself, As Long As He Needs Me, and Reviewing the Situation are musical theatre classics. Dickens' characters are brought to life-perhaps larger than life-with all their facets glowing in this production.
