Oliver!

The heart-wrenching, heel-kicking Dickens classic of the all-too-relatable anthem "Food, Glorious Food" (Three banquets a day!) will take over the stage at Rivertown Theaters this month, with the mainstage's largest cast ever, featuring 62 adult and young performers. Oliver!, recognized today as a true theatrical masterpiece, features triumphant orphans, double-dealing thieves, family reunions, and plenty of dancing—all set in the dark streets of 19th century London. Performances will take place Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm and Sundays at 2 pm, with an additional performance on Thursday, January 23 at 7:30 pm. $41; $39 for seniors; $37 for students. rivertowntheaters.com.
