Charles Dickens’ tale of an orphan’s journey from workhouse to a home, and the characters who lead him to his new life. Just as relevant today when child crime, homelessness, and lawlessness are once again an ever-present threat as they were in the England of 1850. Lionel Bart’s memorable score includes “Food, Glorious Food,” “Consider Yourself,” “Where is Love?,” “Who Will Buy?,” and “As Long as He Needs Me.” Join Oliver, Mr. Bumble, Mrs. Sowerberry, Nancy, Fagin, Bill Sykes, and the Artful Dodger in this musical tale that has won the hearts of children young and old for decades.
