About Oliver!
It’s a Fine Life at the Gielgud Theatre where Oliver!, the award-winning production reconceived by Cameron Mackintosh and director and choreographer Matthew Bourne, is playing its second triumphant year in the West End.
The Olivier, Tony and Oscar-winning classic with its sensational score featuring the iconic songs Food Glorious Food, Where is Love?, Oom-Pah-Pah, As Long as He Needs Me and Reviewing the Situation vividly brings to life Dickens’ London and the ever-popular story of the boy who asked for more.
With a standout cast lead by Simon Lipkin as Fagin, Ava Brennan as Nancy, Aaron Sidwell as Bill Sikes and Aaron MacGregor as the Artful Dodger, Lionel Bart’s iconic musical is brought to life by Lez Brotherston’s design and Olivier-award winning lighting from Paule Constable and Ben Jacobs.
