Thursday 3rd December 2026
Take a trip back to Victorian London this December at Laurelhill Community College as we present, Lionel Bart’s musical Oliver! We will follow the young orphan Oliver Twist as he escapes a bleak, abusive parish workhouse in search of a better life. Upon arriving in London, Oliver is taken in by the Artful Dodger and introduced to a criminal band of child pickpockets run by the elderly, wily Fagin. After being falsely arrested on his first assignment, Oliver is rescued by the kind and wealthy Mr. Brownlow, who eventually discovers Oliver's true family background. The safety of the young boy is threatened when Fagin's brutal henchman Bill Sikes and the sympathetic Nancy become entangled in a tense, tragic struggle over his fate. Adapted from Charles Dickens' 1838 novel Oliver Twist, the stage show blends social critique with iconic, upbeat musical numbers like "Food Glorious Food," "Consider Yourself," and "Pick a Pocket.” Don’t miss your chance to hear our talented cast bring this classic musical to life!
