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?

GroupVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Our whole family is crazy about this musical. My father took me to see it when I was very young; later, I took my daughter, and now I’ve taken my other two children. We’re all captivated by all the performances. My favorite is Fagin, and of course all the children—each one is better than the next.MMaryna S
GroupVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5What an incredible musical! We went to see Oliver! with our three children, and all of us were absolutely delighted. The acting was outstanding, the sets and costumes were spectacular, and the wonderful English humour made the performance even more enjoyable. Every scene was full of energy and atmosphere. And Fagin was simply unforgettable — funny, charismatic and absolutely brilliant! A fantastic experience for both children and adults. Highly recommended!SSteven G
SoloVerified bookingLast week5/5I had not seen the show in over 40 years. When visiting London, I made it a top priority in my otherwise busy schedule. I was NOT disapponted. Amazingly talented cast. The singing, dancing, and acting were excellent. I would definitely see it again.NNevan D
CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago4/5The whole first half in particular was of an excellent standard. Small dip in second half but a thoroughly enjoyable show overall. The actor who played Fagan was mesmerising. Myself and my daughter were entertained throughout.GGiselle A
