Oliver Theatre Tickets

Oliver is one of the most beloved British musicals, vividly bringing to life Dickens timeless characters with its ever popular story of the boy who asked for more. The 1994 London Palladium production of OLIVER! played 1,366 performances over three years and grossed more than £40 million at the box office breaking the then record for the longest run at that theatre.

Cameron Mackintosh presents his triumphant new staging of Lionel Bart’s masterpiece at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and this new production promises to be even more spectacular than ever before.

Rowan Atkinson stars as Fagin. Nancy will be played by the winner of the BBC’s I’d Do Anything, Jodie Prenger. Three new faces from I’d Do Anything will also play Oliver. They are Gwion, 11, from Carmarthenshire, Harry, 12, from Oxfordshire and Laurence, 11, from Cheshire. The total cast and orchestra numbers over one hundred.

The sensational score is full of Lionel Bart’s irresistible songs including Food Glorious Food, Consider Yourself, You’ve Got to Pick-a-Pocket or Two, I’d Do Anything, Oom Pah Pah, As Long As He Needs Me and many more.

The musical is directed by Rupert Goold (Best Director, 2008 Olivier Awards), based on Sam Mendes’ 1994 staging, along with co-director and choreographer Matthew Bourne. It is designed by Anthony Ward; lighting by Paule Constable and sound is by Paul Groothuis, with orchestrations by William D Brohn and musical supervision by Martin Koch. It is produced by Cameron Mackintosh in association with the Southbrook Group Limited.

Due to licensing issues, it will not be decided which Oliver will perform until shortly before the performance starts. Sickness and holiday permitting, Jodie Prenger is scheduled to perform on Monday and Tuesday evenings, Wednesday matinees and Friday evenings and both Saturday Shows.
