Recently, my children and I attended the Oliver performance. We were captivated by the professional acting of the actors, we enjoyed the music, singing, and beautiful scenery that transported us to the time this story was about.I would also like to note the attentiveness and excellent work of the staff, who took care of the comfort of our visit by escorting us to the seats offered by additional seats and accompanying us to the toilet.It all made our event unforgettable.

We watched from Box D which in itself was an experience. They said it was Dame Judi Dench box Lots of memorabilia on the walls. The staff were attentive and polite but friendly. The view of the stage was amazing. Oliver was very enjoyable, all of the cast were brilliant I loved Nancy and Fagan but I need to mention the little people in the show! Wow. Such talent. I feel like this experience will stay with me for a very long time.

Such a fantastic event, this is the second time I have seen Oliver and it was even better. The cast, young Oliver has a beautiful voice and showing a lot of talent. The actor playing Fagin was funny, slick and engaging. It is such an uplifting show and although there are dark moments it is joyous. Actress playing Nancy has an incredible voice. Marvellous

This is the second time we’ve seen this wonderful show—the first time as a couple, and the second time with a friend. The sets and costumes are magnificent; Hats off to the actors who played Fagin and Nancy for their vocal performances. We felt as though we’d been transported to Dickens’s London. An experience to savor again and again!

The venue was the perfect place to exhibit the talent of the most accurate casting for each role. Each was as talented as each other. The venue lends itself to the telling of this story the audience is drawn in to each part as the seating surrounds the stage. Great venue & cast. The staff so efficient and ready with a smile!

The show was wonderful! The music sounded perfect and the staging was incredible. The performances were all top-notch, from the leading actors to the last dancer. The whole play has a great rhythm and the scene changes are superbly executed. It was a delight from start to finish!

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?
