The Tyrone Community Players\u2019 production of Lionel Bart\u2019s classic musical, \u201cOliver!\u201d, is all about love.
\nSet on the dark and dangerous streets of mid-19th century London, \u201cOliver!\u201d tells the tale of a young orphan boy\u2019s quest for love, acceptance and family.
\nBased on the novel Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, \u201cOliver!\u201d uses lovely, catchy music, witty dialogue and well-developed characters to bring home to all of us the importance of treasuring family and friends.
\nInvolving 60 area residents on stage, \u201cOliver!\u201d is the largest performing cast in the TCP\u2019s history. Comprised, in part, by 43 area youngsters portraying orphans, pickpockets, London residents and, of course, Oliver and the Artful Dodger, the cast of adult and young thespians are working together diligently to welcome each audience member to London, and into the hopes and dreams of young Oliver.
\nThis three-time Tony winning musical, Lionel Bart\u2019s masterpiece, is sprinkled with memorable musical numbers such as \u201cWhere Is Love\u201d, \u201cAs Long As He Needs Me\u201d, \u201cFood, Glorious Food\u201d and \u201cI Shall Scream\u201d and sparked with lively dance numbers, including the raucous \u201cOom-Pah-Pah\u201d.
\nThe title character, Oliver, is being played by Eli Wood of Hollidaysburg. Eli, a veteran with the TCP, was last seen on stage as Mogli in \u201cThe Jungle Book\u201d and the boy, JoJo in \u201cSeussical, The Musical\u201d.
\nOliver begins his journey with in a workhouse, an orphanage for boys under the guidance of Mr. Bumble (Ralph Harris) and his assistant, the Widow Corney (Kathy Fink). The 13 other orphans housed in this workhouse look to Oliver for his spirit as he attempts to increase their food allotment as he bravely utters the now famous line to Mr. Bumble, \u201cI would like more, please!\u201d.
\nThese five words begin an adventure for young Oliver which leads him to be sold to a funeral director and his wife (Paul Mills and Betsy Beck), onto the London streets where he meets a unique character and friend, The Artful Dodger (Jared Wood), into the \u201chome\u201d of Fagin (Steven C. Helsel) and his academy for young pickpockets and finally to find the thing he has been searching for his entire life.
\nFilled with energetic and poignant performances by Darcy Wilson as Nancy, Bill Markley as the villain, Bill Sykes, Mary Ann Kurtz, Kate Coltabaugh, Ron Hildebrand, Derik Cruiz, Joel Zeiker and many others, \u201cOliver!\u201d will fill your ears, your mind and your heart.
