Oliver!

Consider yourself at home with Oliver!, the classic musical based on Charles Dickens' 1838 novel, Oliver Twist. This Tony and Olivier Award-winning show is widely hailed as a true theatrical masterpiece.

The streets of Victorian England come to life as a young orphan named Oliver leaves his ruthless workhouse to become 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 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 the boy, threatening Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of a family.

Oliver! is full of classic songs like "Consider Yourself," "Food Glorious Food," and "Oom-Pah-Pah," and perfectly showcases the talents of our large ensemble cast, live band, and backstage crew of students in Years 9-13.

Come celebrate live theatre in this collaboration between the Performing Arts Department of La Grande Boissière Secondary school and the ENCORE Performing Arts Academy.
