There is nothing quite like a well-crafted musical to bring together a community. This summer Oliver! will do just that. Based on the novel by Charles Dickens, Oliver! transports the audience to 1830s London, where a young boy struggles to find his place in the world and overcome the hardship of the lower class. It is a journey full of pathos and memorable musical numbers, including Food, Glorious Food, Consider Yourself, I’d Do Anything, and As Long As He Needs Me. Since 1960, when Oliver! first opened in London’s West End, there have been numerous revivals around the globe. With the assistance of Lionel Bart’s music and lyrics, Dickens’ charismatic and compelling characters leap off the page and into your heart.
