Stars River Alexander, Stacie Bono, and Dominic Cuskern and director Neal J. Freeman discuss Oliver!.
As the orphan Oliver journeys from the workhouse to the slums of Victorian London, he encounters such colorful and iconic characters as the cunning Artful Dodger, the wily Fagin, and the menacing Bill Sykes. Lionel Bart’s take on the famous Dickens novel “Oliver Twist” has become a musical theater classic with a score that includes such well-known songs as “Food, Glorious Food”, “Where is Love?”, “Consider Yourself”, and “Who Will Buy?”.
Winner of 3 Tony Awards in 1963.
