Nominated for 10 Tony Awards and winner of six Academy Awards for the iconic Carol Reed film adaptation, Lionel Bart’s adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist has been a household name since its premiere in 1960. Yet Oliver! hasn’t been seen on a New York City stage since its Broadway revival nearly 40 years ago. The story of a child who dares to trust in others, search for love and ask for more in London’s seedy underworld, Bart’s coming-of-age classic finds new life in this landmark Encores! revival that invites you to “consider yourself one of us!”

This landmark Encores! revival features Lilli Cooper, Raúl Esparza, Tam Mutu, Brad Oscar, Benjamin Pajak and Mary Testa and is directed by Artistic Director Lear deBessonet.
