"...Not to be confused with the popular Broadway musical Oliver!, Creative Cauldron's Learning Theatre production of Oliver Twist is much more condensed and dramatic. Where Oliver! is more playful, Oliver Twist faces the seriousness of Dickens' original novel head-on, and does not seek to sugar-coat its subject matter. While this means the show can be heavy and emotional, I would encourage adults to expose their children to it; theatre is an excellent way to inspire some much needed (if difficult) conversations about our world. This is a great opportunity to help widen young knowledge and world views in a safe and entertaining atmosphere."

"...After the show, there is a Q and A session with the entire company. This was an equally fun and engaging part of the night where audience members, especially children, could ask about the technical aspects of theatre, as well as the behind-the-scenes education of the Learning Theatre Ensemble. One young individual asked if there were songs in the original novel. There were not, of course, but I certainly enjoyed the ones in this production, as I enjoyed the adaptation's ability to honor Dickens' darkness and hopefulness, all while remaining deeply entertaining. "Oliver Twist" is a spirited, innovative production of solid performances that can and will be enjoyed by the whole family."
