OLIVER! is a British musical, with music and lyrics by Lionel Bart. Based on Charles Dickens' story, Oliver Twist, it centers on the
life of Oliver, an orphan boy who alters his fate when he asks for a second helping of gruel. Well known songs from the musical include
'Food Glorious Food,' 'Where is Love,' 'I'd Do Anything,' 'Consider Yourself,' and 'As Long As He Needs Me.'
Actors will be asked to sing a song from the show, read from the script, and participate in a simple dance audition. There are roles
for non-dancers and newcomers are encouraged to audition. Rehearsal schedules will vary according to the role, with children's schedules
taken into consideration. Copies of the "OLIVER!" script are available for review at the
Newport Performing Arts Center.
Anyone interested in assisting with set construction, costuming or technical assistance is invited to attend the auditions and submit information
for future contact.
