This spectacular new production of Lionel Bart’s iconic musical has been fully reconceived especially for Chichester Festival Theatre by director Cameron Mackintosh and choreographer Matthew Bourne and promises to be one of the most unforgettable shows ever at the Festival Theatre.

​

The orphaned Oliver escapes the harsh Victorian workhouse and takes refuge in London’s murky underworld with the wily gang leader Fagin and his team of resourceful pickpockets led by the Artful Dodger. He finds a friend in the kind-hearted Nancy and when he’s wrongly arrested for stealing, 
Oliver meets an unexpected saviour; but is happiness truly within his grasp?

​

With a sensational score, including ‘Food Glorious Food’, ‘You’ve Got to Pick-a-Pocket or Two’, ‘Oom Pah Pah’, ‘As Long As He Needs Me’ and many more, the award-winning masterpiece vividly brings to life Dickens’ ever-popular story of the boy who asked for more.

​

There’s more... The Brasserie at the Chichester Festival Theatre is a lovely venue serving superb food. For an extra £40 you can book a 2-course pre-theatre dinner, to include a glass of wine/beer and tea/coffee to follow. (We will circulate their seasonal menu nearer the time). Or if you prefer, you can take your own picnic or make use of the theatre café and bar - plenty of outdoor seating, or inside seated areas if weather is not so good! We aim to get to Chichester at 5.00pm.
