Here’s the synopsis: Oliver! is a Tony, Oscar and Olivier-winning show that follows an orphan boy’s adventures as he searches for safety, home and love – who could ask for more?
This rollicking narrative pits the quest for love and security against the brutality of early Victorian England, as Oliver encounters bombastic Beedles, unscrupulous undertakers, thieves, organised crime and the law itself. And, there are so many fantastic songs: ‘Food, Glorious Food’, ‘Consider Yourself’, ‘You’ve Got to Pick-a-Pocket or Two’, ‘Fine Life’, ‘I’d Do Anything’, ‘Oom-Pah-Pah’, ‘As Long As He Needs Me’, ‘Who Will Buy?’ and many more!
The exceptionally talented performers and musicians from Norwood’s Performing Arts program are sure to move and amuse you with this year’s musical production!
Past musicals include: Urinetown the Musical (2024), Anastasia (2023), Shrek the Musical (2022), Wind In The Willows (2020 and 2021 – cancelled due to Covid), Curtains (2019), Mary Poppins (2018), Monty Python’s Spamalot (2017), The Addams Family (2016), Beauty and the Beast (2014), Into the Woods (2011) and The Wizard of Oz (2010).
