Charles Dickens’ novel Oliver Twist is a classic that everyone knows. But have you seen it in musical form? The musical adaptation of this novel premiered in London in 1960 and was an immediate and huge success. It was staged on Broadway and was made into a film. Oliver Twist even won the prestigious Tony Award for the music.
The musical tells the story of Oliver, an orphan who faces poverty and mistreatment in 19th century London. Oliver’s journey includes encounters with a variety of good and bad characters as he tries to find his place in a harsh society. He experiences an adventurous journey from an orphanage, to an undertaker, to a street gang of petty thieves, to finally finding a home with his unrecognised grandfather.
With its rich, singable melodies and brilliantly rendered characters of London’s underworld, it continues to enjoy great popularity with audiences.
This classic musical is coming to the Slovak stage for the second time. In 1997 it was staged at the Slovak State Theatre in Košice by the legendary Jozef Bednárik.
The powerful story of children and adults who were not born into happy and feasting conditions contains much that is touching, humorous, but also harsh. Because we all long for love and acceptance, wherever we are born. And if we can find a bit of love and humanity even in a cruel world, that’s the most beautiful thing that can happen to us and why life is worth living.
