Oliver! isn't obvious feel-good fare: workhouse boy is mistreated, sold into de facto slavery, escapes, finds himself in the clutches of a miserly fence who exploits homeless children, is arrested, becomes entangled and threatened by an East End villain, and witnesses a brutal murder. But somehow, the whole thing is PURE MAGIC. The perfect family/holiday outing, with hit songs like, "Consider Yourself", "Where is Love" and "As Long As He Needs Me." If you have enjoyed our two seasons of THEATRE-IN-THE-ROUND, you won't want to miss this final production in that setting. Starting with our first 2012 show, we will be back to the traditional seating arrangement.
