THE classic British musical Oliver! starts tonight (Monday) at the Gaiety Theatre.
Lionel Bart's musical, brought to the Gaiety stage by Taylorian Productions, is directed and staged by John Cumberlidge and features popular songs including I'd Do Anything, Food Glorious Food and It's a Fine, Fine Life.
Based on the Charles Dickens story Oliver Twist, Oliver! tells the story of the little workhouse boy who asked for more. His request lands him in trouble with the workhouse matron and he is sold to an unfavourable local undertaker and his family. Oliver quickly escapes and befriends another young boy, the Artful Dodger, who takes Oliver under his wing at an academy for orphans.
The show runs until Saturday, August 21. Tickets are available from the Welcome Centre at the Sea Terminal, the Villa Marina reception or by calling the Box Office on 01624 600555.
