Nothing works on the stage like a well-crafted tale, and OLIVER! is just such
a show. Based on the Dickens novel, it will engage your audience with its
pathos and drama, while delighting everyone with its outstanding musical
numbers. Food, Glorious Food, I'd Do Anything, Where is Love?, Consider
Yourself, As Long As He Needs Me, Who Will Buy and Reviewing the
Situation are musical theatre classics. Dickens' characters are brought to
life-perhaps larger than life-with all their facets glowing in this production.
OLIVER! was first presented in London, where it played for 2,618 performances at the New Theatre. It played for 774 performances on Broadway at
the Imperial and Shubert Theatres starring Georgia Brown and Clive Revill
as Nancy and Fagin. It has been revived on Broadway several times, as in
1984 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre, and in London in 1994 at the Palladium
starring Jonathan Pryce as Fagin.
