Everything was perfect. An unforgettable show featuring top-tier actors. The scenes and music—well-known, yet always wonderful to experience—were presented in such a beautifully curated setting. The staff at the Gielgud Theatre were also very welcoming.

It was a great production, the seats were reasonably priced, and we could see everything. The acting and singing were outstanding. The children are simply very talented.

The cast was fantastic, but the audience was less pleasant. People were still entering the auditorium after 15 minutes, and several people went to the restroom during the performance.

One of the best shows I've seen, anywhere! The acting was fantastic, the music is wonderful, creatively designed sets and so perfectly and professionally performed. We went to a different show before that was blaringly loud, but the sound here was just right. Our performance even featured an unrecognizable Matt Lucas as Fagin in a limited run - what a treat! You'll be humming the songs for days afterwards. A highlight to our London visit.

Very talented performers. Boy playing oliver was good, same for actress that played nancy and artful dodger. A patron sitting next to me annoyingly mentioned that phones needed to be turned off prior to the start of the performance even though it hadn’t started. When in London follow the rules people.

I absolutely loved the show! The actors, the voices, and the atmosphere were truly mesmerizing. Every single cast member was phenomenal, and it was so clear how much hard work and dedication had gone into this production over the months. It was an unforgettable musical and such a beautiful experience!

Written by Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist was critically acclaimed for exposing the cruel treatment of orphans during the mid-19th century and also its unromantic portrayal of the lives of criminals. Award-winning dramatist Bryony Lavery has adapted this tale in conjunction with Leeds Playhouse to put disabled artists on center stage. Amy Leach, who has directed The Wonderful Wizard of OZ, The Shelter, and We All Fall Down is all set to direct the production which promises to dazzle audiences from across the world!

The story

Born into a poor family, Oliver Twist is left orphaned after his father’s mysterious disappearance and his mother’s death during childbirth. Oliver finds a home in a sweatshop, where he is mistreated. Soon, however, Oliver encounters Artful Dodger and Fagin and joins their troupe of pickpockets. He revels in this new exciting and adventurous life as a criminal. His happiness, however, is short-lived and he finds himself falling under the influence of the vile Bill Sykes. Will Oliver be able to turn around a life filled with misfortune and poverty?

What a fantastic evening! An amazing show; the story of Oliver Twist is performed so well by the entire cast, especially Hava Brennan and Matt Lucas. The welcome at the Gielgud Theatre was perfect! Alain and Anne Marie.
