“Please sir! I want some more!” Tickets on sale for talented Burnley College Sixth Form Students’ production of Oliver! Jr

“Food! Glorious Food!”

“You’ve Got To Pick a Pocket or Two”

“Consider Yourself”

Bursting with popular hits and brought to life by talented students on Burnley College Sixth Form Centre’s Performing Arts and Dance courses, Dickens’ classic story is coming to life on stage this month in Oliver! Jr.

This beloved musical is an adaptation of Lionel Bart’s Broadway original and contains all the songs the audience know and love.

See the streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver, a malnourished orphan escapes his workhouse life and heads to London where he finds acceptance among a group of petty thieves and pickpockets led by the elderly Fagin.

A tale of betrayal, exploitation, love and brotherhood, this musical theatre masterpiece is a triumph of ensemble playing and allows our outstanding students the opportunity to shine on stage.

Performances will be held in our unrivalled, professional performance theatre on:
• Thursday 19 May, 7pm
• Friday 20 May, 7pm
• Saturday 21 May, 2pm and 7pm
