"Oliver" is based on Charles Dickens' moving tale of Oliver Twist, an orphan boy who escapes from the orphanage only to end up in the company of pick pockets. Musical Theater Village in Irvine proudly presents this family favorite.

One of the greatest musicals of all time, "Oliver" won three Tony awards when it appeared on stage over 40 years ago.  Featuring musical classics such as "Food, Glorious Food," "I'd Do Anything," "Where is Love?," "Consider Yourself," "As Long As He Needs Me," and  "Who Will Buy," this show continues to captivate children and adults alike.

When Oliver has a chance to live a good life, love and hate battle as Sykes and his girlfriend, Nancy, have different ideas for the young boy.
