*Oliver!* (Book, Music and Lyrics by Lionel Bart) is a classic Charles
Dickens’ story comes to life as Oliver, a hungry orphan, escapes the
workhouse and finds himself amongst youthful thieves and pickpockets, led
by the villainous Fagin. When Oliver is wrongly accused of theft and
adopted by kindly Mr. Brownlow, Fagin employs the sinister Bill Sikes and
sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back, threatening Oliver’s chances of
discovering the love of a new family. A musical feast for the holidays.
