Lionel Bart’s Oliver JR
Firebird Theatre PresentsAbout
Firebird Children’s Theatre presents our annual Summer Youth Musical Theatre Workshop Production: Oliver JR! This performance is the culmination of a three week summer musical theatre workshop held in partnership with The Colonial Theatre and Firebird Children’s Theatre. This production features a youth cast ages 7 – 18 and celebrates 14 years of our joint partnership in the Phoenixville community!
Consider yourself at home with Oliver! JR., the Broadway Junior version of Lionel Bart’s classic musical based on Charles Dickens’ novel, Oliver Twist. The Tony and Olivier Award-winning show is one of the few musicals to win an Academy Award for Best Picture and is widely hailed as a true theatrical masterpiece by actors and audience members alike.
The streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse, becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker. Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance amongst a group of petty thieves and pickpockets led by the elderly Fagin. When Oliver is captured for a theft that he did not commit, the benevolent victim, Mr. Brownlow takes him in. Fearing the safety of his hideout, Fagin employs the sinister Bill Sikes and the sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back, threatening Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of a family.
