Brought vividly to life, Dickens’ timeless story will engage you with its pathos, drama and a cast of memorable characters.

Lionel Bart’s sensational score is jam packed with musical theatre classics including ‘Food Glorious Food’, ‘Consider Yourself’, ‘You’ve Got to Pick-a-Pocket or Two’, ‘I’d Do Anything’, ‘Oom-Pah-Pah’, ‘As Long As He Needs Me’ and many more.

Looking forward to her Opera House debut, Jordan said: “Despite doing Musical Theatre for years, this is actually my first ever show in the Opera House and I can’t believe how lucky I am to be making my debut in this venue as Nancy, which is truly my dream role. Oliver was actually my first ever musical.

“I played Fagin in the show when I was in P7 at Wallace Prep, so it is really special to be doing this show once again, and especially nice to be playing a girl this time around!”

Oliver runs at the Grand Opera House from September 30 until October 4 and tickets are on sale from the Box Office on 9024 1919 or online at www.goh.co.uk.
