Oliver!
31 May - 7 June 2025
There’s a little ditty they’re singing in the city… Perhaps the best-loved British musical of all time, Lionel Bart’s Oliver! returns to Fairlie this autumn in a new production, reimagined and refreshed since its previous showing here in 1988.
​
Bart’s most famous adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic has been delighting audiences since 1960, with its story of a young orphan set amongst the boisterous bustle of murky street life in Victorian London.
With a sensational score, including Food Glorious Food, Consider Yourself, You’ve Got to Pick-a-Pocket or Two, I’d Do Anything, Oom Pah Pah, As Long As He Needs Me and many more, this musical masterpiece vividly brings to life Dickens’ ever-popular story of the boy who asked for more.
