Lionel Bart’s musical masterpiece
Oliver!
An Amateur Production, proudly presented by Basildon Operatic
Award winning society, BasOp are back at the Towngate to bring the much-loved musical Oliver! to the stage.
Lionel Bart’s Oliver! takes audiences on an adventure through Victorian England. Young, orphaned Oliver Twist navigates London’s underworld, searching for a home, a family, and – most importantly – love. When Oliver meets the Artful Dodger, he is welcomed into a gang of child pickpockets led by the conniving Fagin. When Oliver is falsely accused of a theft, he is rescued by a kind and wealthy gentleman, to the dismay of Fagin’s violent sidekick, Bill Sikes. Caught in the middle is Nancy, who is trapped under Bill’s thumb, but desperate to help Oliver, with tragic results.
With spirited, timeless songs like As Long as He Needs Me, Food, Glorious Food, and Where Is Love, Oliver! is a musical classic
This amateur production is presented by Basildon Operatic Society.
