About This Event
Matthew Bourne's reconceived production of Lionel Bart's musical Oliver! arrives at the Gielgud Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue in London on 22 November 2026. This Olivier, Tony and Oscar-winning show brings Charles Dickens' poignant tale of a boy who asked for more to life through songs such as Food Glorious Food and As Long As He Needs Me. Directed by Matthew Bourne and Jean-Pierre van der Spuy, the performance features a cast including Matt Lucas in the role of Fagin during this specific run. The production offers a dramatic reinterpretation of the classic story within the historic West End venue.
