Nothing works on stage like a well-crafted tale presented by 75 of our very own local YPT young people, and OLIVER! is our show. Based on the Dickens novel, it will engage you with its pathos and drama, while delighting you with its outstanding musical numbers. "Food, Glorious Food," "I'd Do Anything," "Where is Love?," "Consider Yourself," "As Long as He Needs Me," "Who Will Buy," and "Reviewing the Situation" are musical theatre classics.

You will be transported to the heart of London where they will "pick your heart" rather than your pocket! Dickens' characters are brought to life-perhaps larger than life- with all their facets glowing through portrayals by the talented people of YPT.

OLIVER! was first presented in London, where it played for 2,618 performances at the New Theatre. It played for 774 performances on Broadway at the Imperial and Shubert Theatres. It has been revived on Broadway several times, as in 1984 at the Mark Hellinger Theatre, and in London in 1994 at the Palladium. And now YPT presents OLIVER! on the Lydia Mendelssohn stage for you!
