Don’t miss this beloved musical opening this week

Adapted from the classic Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist, this musical tells the story of an orphan boy who escapes from a workhouse and falls in with a rag-tag band of boys who teach him how to survive on the Victorian London streets. Dickens’ larger-than-life characters sing and dance their way into your heart with iconic songs including Food, Glorious Food; Who Will Buy; As Long As He Needs Me; and Consider Yourself. Originally opened in London in 1960, Oliver! was nominated for 10 Tony Awards including Best Musical.

“I last directed Oliver! for Music Theatre Louisville, and it was one of the last shows in the Iroquois Amphitheater,” says CenterStage artistic director John Leffert. Leffert said he does not shy away from the show’s dark characters and situations.

Bunbury Theatre Company presents the regional premiere of Jon Jory’s The Two Musketeers. What happens when budget cuts cause a small theatre company to eliminate one of the Musketeers in Alexander Dumas’ classic? The cast of six actors with limited resources sally forth into a hilarious retelling of the swashbuckling tale.

If you’re not from Louisville or aren’t familiar with the origins of Actors Theatre of Louisville, you might be wondering who Jon Jory is.
