Oliver!

Having been fully reconceived by director and choreographer Matthew Bourne and Sir Cameron Mackintosh for Chichester Festival Theatre’s Summer season in 2024, this spectacular new production of Lionel Bart’s iconic musical has been wowing West End audiences for nearly 18 months.

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.

Having taken two full coaches to see it in Chichester and having had waiting lists for our first three London trips, here is a fifth chance for those that missed those opportunities, or those that enjoyed it so much, they also want more!!
