Chichester Theatre Trip
August 20, 2024
Coach pick up, time to spend in Chichester, evening performance and return coach.
This spectacular new production of Lionel Bart’s iconic musical has been fully reconceived especially for the Chichester Festival Theatre by director and choreographer Matthew Bourne and Cameron Mackintosh and promises to be one of the most unforgettable shows ever at the Festival Theatre.
The orphaned Oliver escapes the harsh Victorian workhouse and takes refuge in London’s murky underworld with the wily gang leader Fagin and his team of resourceful pickpockets led by the Artful Dodger. He finds a friend in the kind-hearted Nancy and when he’s wrongly arrested for stealing, Oliver meets an unexpected saviour; but is happiness truly within his grasp?
With a sensational score, including Food Glorious Food, Consider Yourself, You’ve Got to Pick-a-Pocket or Two, I’d Do Anything, Oom Pah Pah, As Long As He Needs Me and many more, the Olivier, Tony and Oscar-winning masterpiece vividly brings to life Dickens’ ever-popular story of the boy who asked for more.
Matthew Bourne is internationally renowned for reinventing classics including Swan Lake and Edward Scissorhands for his company New Adventures, as well as his Olivier Award-winning choreography for My Fair Lady and Mary Poppins. The stellar creative team also includes designer Lez Brotherston (Fiddler on the Roof, Me and My Girl, Flowers for Mrs Harris).
With a few hours of free time before the show starts you have the opportunity to enjoy the pedestrianised shopping streets of Chichester, its Cathedral or just sit down and relax with a drink and a bite to eat. It always makes for a very enjoyable trip.
For over ten years now our annual Summer visit to Chichester has sold out. On the last four occasions we have taken two coaches! Whilst, with it being Oliver!, I imagine we will take two coaches, there is no guarantee and so to be sure of your place, do book early to avoid missing out.
