Oliver

Artes Christi & Yalari present Lionel Bart’s classic musical.

Synopsis

This new production will introduce an extraordinary young talent Zac Collins-Widders, a 13 year old boy from Laurieton in northern NSW who will be the first indigenous Australian to ever play the role of Oliver.

The production also stars veteran Australian actor Peter Thoms as Fagin and regular Opera Australia performer Paul McLeod as Mr Bumble. With a total cast of over 130 and a live orchestra of 30, this will be OLIVER! on a scale rarely produced in Australia.

OLIVER! is being presented by Artes Christi & Yalari with 100% of profits going to Yalari to support their indigenous education work in schools across Australia.
