Cast update announced for West End production of Oliver!

A must-see theatre revival in London, Oliver! returned to the West End for the first time since 2008 (where it ran at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane) in a new production that came to the city on the heels of a successful debut at the Chichester Festival Theatre.

Freely adapted from Charles Dickens' classic novel, Oliver! tells the story of orphan Oliver Twist, who flees a grim Victorian workhouse and finds himself in London's shadowy underworld. There, he encounters the cunning Fagin and his band of clever pickpockets, led by Artful Dodger.

The production boasts a timeless score featuring beloved songs like "Oom Pah Pah," "As Long As He Needs Me," and more.

The acclaimed original principal cast are all extending with the production: Simon Lipkin continues as Fagin alongside Ava Brennan (The Lion King) as Nancy, Aaron Sidwell (Wicked) as Bill Sikes, Aaron MacGregor (Les Misérables) as the Artful Dodger, Oscar Conlon-Morrey (Mother Goose) as Mr. Bumble, Katy Secombe (The Music Man) as Widow Corney, Stephen Matthews (Strictly Ballroom) as Mr. Sowerberry/Dr. Grimwig, Jamie Birkett (Peter Pan Goes Wrong) as Mrs. Sowerberry/Mrs. Bedwin and Philip Franks (Witness for the Prosecution) as Mr. Brownlow.

The role of Oliver Twist will be played by Isaac Hackett, James Miller, Thomas Newman, and Jacob Sanders-Jones.

Joining the ensemble of Oliver! are Julie Cloke, Will Elliott, Tom Andrew Hargreaves, Victoria Hay, Jehu Josephs, Conor McFarlane, Mia Mullarkey, Erin Oliver, Jamie Tyler, Sienna Widd and Dane Young.
