Oliver! at Arena Stage

Consider yourself invited to Oliver!, Lionel Bart's three-time Tony Award-winning musical that's set to steal your heart the minute it hits D.C.'s Fichandler Stage. Charles Dickens' unforgettable characters burst to life in this lively, heel-kicking classic about an innocent orphan thrown into the dark world of double-dealing thieves and conmen of 19th-century London. Overflowing with jubilant songs, including "You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two," "Consider Yourself," "Where is Love?" and the scrumptious "Food, Glorious Food," director Molly Smith (Fiddler on the Roof, Oklahoma!) serves up a musical feast for the eyes and ears that'll have you calling out for "More!"
