"Oliver!"

Book, Music and Lyrics by

LIONEL BART

 July 5- 6 and 7, 2019

HBTI's production of OLIVER pairs incredibly talented young actors with
award winning designers and the results will leave you amazed. "OLIVER!" is
directed and choreographed by Bebe Weinberg Katz, music direction by John
Krol, set and projection design by T. Paul Lowry, lighting design by Tom
West, sound design by Carlton Guc with costume and prop design by Vanessa
Cook.


Oliver features Ben Rakow as Oliver, Hannah Schmidt as Nancy, Eric Feucht
as Fagin, Jake Lehner as Bill Sikes and Celia Hawk as Artful Dodger. The
entire cast of 28 young actors ( 4th grade through college) brings energy
and excitement to all of the characters in this Tony award musical.

Based on the novel OLIVER TWIST by Charles Dickens, this musical adaptation
springs to life with some of the most memorable characters and songs ever
to hit the stage; "Food Glorious Food", "Where Is Love", "Consider
Yourself" and "As Long As He Needs Me" to name just a few of the songs that
earned Lionel Bart the Tony for Best Original Score.  OLIVER is one of the
few musicals to win an academy award for Best Picture and is widely hailed
as a true theatrical masterpiece by actor and audiences alike.


The streets of Victorian England are full of hustle and bustle as Oliver, a
malnourished orphan in a workhouse, becomes a neglected apprentice of an
undertaker.  Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance among a group of
petty thieves and pickpockets lead by elderly Fagin. When Oliver is
captured for a theft he did not commit, the benevolent victim, Mr Brownlow,
takes him in.  Fearing for the safety of his hideout, Fagin employs the
sinister Bill Sikes and sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back, leaving
Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of family in jeopardy.
