Gielgud Theatre

Musical

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 Matt Lucas as Fagin, for six weeks only, 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. Simon Lipkin returns as Fagin from 3 November.

​There’s no need to Pick a Pocket for a ticket: buying direct means access to Family Tickets and the weekly lottery and with no booking fees and exchange up to 48 hours before your performance, the only answer to ‘Who will Buy?’, is you! And, if you can’t wait to Be Back Soon, don’t miss our podcast episodes with Lez and Simon talking all things Oliver!.

So, Consider Yourself well in this summer and book your tickets now for the ultimate British musical that generations continue to fall in love with.
