Lionel Bart - Oliver! 2024 London Cast

Lionel Bart — Oliver! 2024 London Cast 2LP

The 2024 London Cast recording of Cameron Mackintosh's new production of Oliver! was captured live at the Chichester Festival Theatre before the show opened in London's West End at the Gielgud Theatre in December 2024. The production was directed and choreographed by Matthew Bourne. 

The production was hailed as "Glorious" by The Daily Mail, and "Pure theatrical pleasure" (Telegraph) at its triumphant debut at the Chichester Festival in summer 2024, ahead of its transfer to London's West End. The exceptional cast on this live recording includes Simon Lipkin as Fagin, Shanay Holmes as Nancy, Aaron Sidwell as Bill Sikes, Billy Jenkins as the Artful Dodger, and Philip Franks as Mr. Brownlow. Lionel Bart's musical masterpiece, freely adapted from Charles Dickens' novel, tells the story of the orphaned Oliver Twist, who escapes the harsh Victorian workhouse and takes refuge in London's murky underworld with the wily gang leader Fagin and his team of resourceful pickpockets led by the Artful Dodger. He finds a friend in the kind-hearted Nancy, and when he's wrongly arrested for stealing, Oliver meets an unexpected saviour; but is happiness truly within his grasp?

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, the Olivier, Tony and Oscar-winning masterpiece vividly brings to life Dickens' ever-popular story of the boy who asked for more.
