Show Information
The first scene then bursts into life when the whole ensemble rally together to belt out the rousing Food, Glorious Food. When the excitement dies down Oliver steadily plucks up enough courage to ask the imposing Mr Bumble for a second helping of gruel. It is then that calamity suddenly breaks loose! Oliver is banished from the workhouse for his insolence and sent to work for an undertaker. However, only when young Oliver escapes from the cruel clutches of this apprenticeship and runs into the tricky hands of the Artful Dodger and his gang, does the adventure really start hotting up for our spirited hero.
Whilst in London Oliver meets Nancy, the sassy heroine of the show. Caught up in the murky underbelly of the city, this streetwise young woman is trapped in a violent relationship with the barbarous Bill Sikes. Though Nancy takes to Oliver straight away, can she really shield the boy from the dangerous climate of their surroundings and the criminal lure of the gang?
This show really is a cracker; a real rollercoaster narrative that twists and turns just as you think you know what's about to happen. Punctuated with huge dance routines and lavish show tunes, Oliver! is an experience that is not easily surpassed nor forgotten.
