“Oliver!” musical looking for cast. Please see the breakdown below.
About the project:
Synopsis: Young orphan Oliver Twist navigates the Londons underworld of theft and violence, searching for a home, a family, and – most importantly – for love. When Oliver is picked up on the street by a boy named the Artful Dodger, he is welcomed into a gang of child pickpockets led by the conniving, but charismatic, Fagin. When Oliver is falsely accused of a theft he didnt commit, he is rescued by a kind and wealthy gentleman, to the dismay of Fagins violent sidekick, Bill Sikes. Caught in the middle is the warm-hearted Nancy, who is trapped under Bills thumb, but desperate to help Oliver, with tragic results. With spirited, timeless songs like As Long as He Needs Me, Food, Glorious Food, and Where Is Love, Oliver! is a musical classic.
