Cameron Mackintosh’s new production of Lionel Bart’s iconic musical, OLIVER!, which he has fully reconceived with director and choreographer Matthew Bourne, is now playing at London’s Gielgud Theatre.

OLIVER! follows young orphan Oliver Twist as he runs away from the workhouse he grew up in and finds himself taken in by a group of pickpockets and their elderly mentor. When offered the chance of a better life, Oliver is torn between the family he found and a future he could only dream of.

The cast includes Simon Lipkin (Guys and DollsAvenue Q) as Fagin, Shanay Holmes (Miss SaigonThe Bodyguard) as Nancy, Aaron Sidwell (Henry VIWicked) as Bill Sikes, Billy Jenkins (Les Misérables, BBC’s Dodger) as the Artful Dodger, Philip Franks (The Rocky Horror ShowWitness for the Prosecution) as Mr Brownlow, Oscar Conlon-Morrey (Mother Goose, Only Fools and Horses The Musical) as Mr. Bumble, Katy Secombe (The Music Man, Les Misérables) as Widow Corney, Stephen Matthews (Strictly Ballroom, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) as Mr. Sowerberry/Dr. Grimwig, and Jamie Birkett (Peter Pan Goes Wrong, Mamma Mia The Party) as Mrs. Sowerberry/Mrs. Bedwin.

With a sensational score, including Food Glorious FoodConsider YourselfYou’ve Got to Pick-a-Pocket or TwoI’d Do AnythingOom Pah PahAs Long As He Needs Me and many more, the Olivier, Tony and Oscar-winning masterpiece vividly brings to life Dickens’ ever-popular story of the boy who asked for more.
