Consider yourself invited… to the streets of London!

​

Join Oliver and a rag-tag band of pals as they weave, dodge, and dance their way through Victorian London in OLIVER! JR., a high-energy, kid-friendly musical packed with heart, humor, and unforgettable songs like “Consider Yourself,” “Food, Glorious Food,” and more!

This beloved adaptation of Oliver Twist tells the story of a brave orphan who escapes the workhouse, finds unexpected family among a gang of clever pickpockets, and learns powerful lessons about trust, friendship, honesty, and hope. With its lively ensemble, iconic characters, and nonstop movement, Oliver! JR. is a joy for performers and audiences alike.
