About OLIVER:
Charles Dickens’ classic tale of Oliver Twist comes to life on Artisan’s stage in the hit musical OLIVER! Join Oliver on the colorful but perilous streets of London, as he meets the Artful Dodger and Fagin’s gang of young pick-pockets in the search for a family to call his own. “Food, Glorious Food,” “I’d Do Anything,” “Where Is Love?” “Consider Yourself,” “As Long as he Needs Me,” are musical theatre classics from Lionel Bart’s score.
