About Oliver!
Oliver! is back in the West End in a stunning new production from Cameron Mackintosh and choreographer Matthew Bourne. Lionel Bart's beloved musical follows young orphan Oliver Twist through the streets of Victorian London as he falls in with the loveable rogue Fagin, the menacing Bill Sikes and the kind-hearted Nancy.
This fresh, dynamic production at the Gielgud Theatre brings a new energy to the classic story while preserving the songs everyone knows and loves — 'Food, Glorious Food', 'Consider Yourself', 'Who Will Buy' and the show-stopping 'As Long As He Needs Me'. With Matthew Bourne's choreography adding a cinematic scale to the staging, this is Oliver! as you've never seen it before.
