The production was very well staged, and the scene changes were slickly handled. The performaces by Fagin and The Artful Dodger were, I thought, exceptional. At times, while good, I thought other vocals were strident and sometimes delivered as concert performances rather than being in tune with the emotional moment. It's a great musical and this was a memorable performance.

Great songs , terrific set BUT another victim of WOKE I don't believe there were so many black folk in the UK at that time - I'm sure they were included to achieve some sort of quota or inclusive nonsense Fagan was depicted as a seedy Jew in the book, not so in this production I am not anti-Semitic - I am Jewish BUT Ilike the depiction b y Ron Moody

Absolutely wonderful! Great atmosphere and it was a special treat for my husband who has been diagnosed with a rare cancer. We booked to go on a day that we were attending Guys hospital in the morning for his treatment. When we queued for entrance and had our tickets scanned we were told our seats had been upgraded!. We couldn't believe it, we now had wonderful seats in the stalls with a great view. Thank you so much for making our experience so memorable.

The show is phenominal. Excellent cast and staging which kept you engaged all through the show. We especially loved Fagan who was brilliant and the humour was great, the same also for Mr Bumble, and his voice was tremendous. A mention also has to be given to the orchestra and their interpretation/production of the score. We absolutely loved the show and will be booking to see it again before the end of the run.

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?

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.

I booked a a private box (Box A) for my fiancé & I to see Oliver on Saturday 9th May. Butler service was good but viewing of the stage & the performance was restricted. This was very disappointing as if it was specified before booking then I would not have booked this Box. I do have photos if you would like me to provide them.
