Oliver!

Oliver, an orphan in a workhouse, becomes the apprentice of an undertaker, then escapes to find acceptance amongst a band of pickpockets led by the criminal Fagin. When he is captured for a theft he did not commit, the victim, Mr. Brownlow, takes him in. Fagin, fearing the discovery of his hideout, has Oliver kidnapped, threatening the boy’s chances of discovering the true love of family. With spirited songs like “Food, Glorious Food,” and “Consider Yourself,” Oliver! is widely hailed as a theatrical masterpiece.
