About The Show
Invercargill Musical Theatre celebrates 50 years of this classic stage show with a dazzling new production of the world's most loved musical.
This ground-breaking British musical premiered on London's West End in June 1960 and ran for over 2,600 performances. The revival production has been playing to packed houses since January 2009 - the season has just been extended to February 2011.
This much-loved musical vividly brings to life Dickens' timeless characters with its ever-popular story of the boy who dared to ask for more. The show is full of Lionel Bart's irresistible songs 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. It follows the adventures of the orphan Oliver as he escapes his bleak and lonely workhouse existence, journeys to London, and is taken in by a gang of apprentice pickpockets. When he is falsely accused of exposing the gang by the frightening Bill Sikes, he discovers he has more friends than he ever imagined.
