Oliver!

Pantages Theatre
710 Hennepin Avenue Minneapolis

Broadway Re-Imagined returns with Oliver!, the extraordinary tale with a twist. Nationally acclaimed director Peter Rothstein stages the Tony Award®-winning musical in an all-new production at the Pantages Theatre. This third Broadway Re-Imagined collaboration between Theater Latté Da and Hennepin Theatre Trust brings to life Charles Dickens' vivid characters including the Artful Dodger, Fagin and, of course, the young orphan Oliver. Lionel Bart's unforgettable score, featuring The Minnesota Boychoir as the Workhouse Orphans, showcases such iconic songs as "Consider Yourself," "Food, Glorious Food," "You’ve Got to Pick a Pocket or Two" and "As Long As He Needs Me." Oliver’s quest to find a home and family takes us on a heart-wrenching and heart-warming musical journey. Don't miss this classic for the entire family!

Presented by Theater Latté Da and Hennepin Theatre Trust

  Oliver! Reviews

Star Tribune - Highly Recommended

"...Director Peter Rothstein's steampunk take on the tale of an orphan boy's sojourn from workhouse to mean streets to loving home manages to stay true to the material, including beloved songs like "Food, Glorious Food" and "Consider Yourself," while putting an original stamp on style and mood that allows even diehard fans of the 1968 Mark Lester/Jack Wild movie to see the show with fresh eyes."

Twin Cities Daily Planet - Recommended

"...In interviews, director Peter Rothstein described this take on a musical theater classic as a re-envisioning of the source. Although it doesn't shy from its darkest elements, the result is not a dark tale-much of the horror is exaggerated to comic effect, with great results. The new arrangement of the score for piano, violin, accordion, guitar, bass, and drums has a fresh but grounded sound to it, which helps to draw out the more timeless emotional weight of the score by freeing it from the more typical musical theater sound of the original orchestration. Beefing up Oliver and Nancy (in portrayal and staging, if not written lines) also helps the enduring relevance of the story shine through historical associations."

Twin Cities Pioneer Press - Recommended

"...This "Oliver" is a huge production, one that argues persuasively for the continuing relevance of a show that doesn't get revived often outside of high schools. And the attention Latte Da pays to suffering shouldn't make it sound like it's not a fun evening of theater, because it is. This "Oliver" may open with a scream but it ends the way you hope a musical will: with a knock-'em-dead song."

How Was The Show - Recommended

"...Oliver! is, beyond a doubt, a worthwhile and seeable play: excellent performances, lovely music, exquisite deign, all done in one of the best theaters in town (surpassed only, imo, by the Southern)."
