Oliver! The Musical
Mar 27 - May 6
Based on the Dickens novel, it will engage you with its pathos and drama, while delighting everyone with its
outstanding musical numbers. Food, Glorious Food, I’d Do Anything, Where is Love?, Consider Yourself, As Long As He Needs Me, Who Will Buy and Reviewing the Situation are musical theatre classics. Dickens’ characters are brought to life-perhaps larger than life-with all their facets glowing.
Starring Stevie Romero, Steve Dawson, Robby May and Dianne Dawson as Nancy
