JR. is 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.  \nThe streets of Victorian England come to live 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.  \nOliver! JR. is full of classic songs like “Consider Yourself”\, “Food Glorious Food”\, and “Oom-Pah-Pah”. Oliver! JR. is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials also supplied by MTI. \n\n\n \n\n
