Oliver!

The award-winning musical adaptation of the classic Dickens novel springs to life with some of the most memorable characters and songs ever to grace the stage.

Consider yourself at home with Lionel Bart's classic musical based on the Charles Dickens novel, Oliver Twist. The Tony and Olivier Award-winning show is one of the few musicals to win an Academy Award for Best Picture and is widely hailed as a true theatrical masterpiece by actors and audience members alike.

The streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse, becomes 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 that 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 him back, threatening Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of a family.

Oliver! is a musical theatre masterpiece, perfectly showcasing the talents of a large ensemble cast as they bring these classic characters and score to life.

Is Oliver Jr nearing release?

There are a couple of questions asked several months ago which suggest Oliver Jr is due to be available before the end of 2019. As we enter December, is there any news on whether this is likely to be the case?

Two Questions

We have a contract to perform Oliver! the musical in July-#77344

However, because of some unseen construction scheduled for July, the venue that we rent is unavailable. We have not had auditions or started rehearsal yet.

Once I return the scripts, can we get a credit or our money back? What is the protocol for something like this?

Also, could I get the correct address for where I need to ship the scripts?

Thanks!

Shannon
