Somebody named him Oliver!

  • 28/05/2013

“Please, sir, I want some more.”

This is perhaps the most famous phrase of all from a Charles Dickens story (if you don’t count “Bah, humbug” as a phrase).  You know where it’s from, of course.  That’s right, ‘Oliver Twist’.

Four Seasons Musical Theatre is now showing Oliver!, the hit musical by Lionel Bart, based on Dickens’ novel, at the Isabelle Reader Theatre in Langford.  There are only three more performances to go, and I can tell you in all honesty, that you don’t want to miss this.  This is a great, fun show for the whole family.

I’ve been more involved with this show than any other Four Seasons show.  I’ve not only been doing all the photography, but also the poster, program, tickets and even bookmarks.  For the publicity shots, we went down to Bastion Square, and managed to get some really good shots there on a Saturday morning, just before rehearsal started.

A few more details, for next weekend, and then you can get your fill of photos from the show:

Three more performances: Friday, May 31, at 7pm, Saturday, June 1, at 2pm, and Sunday June 2, at 2pm.

Tickets are $12 for children and $18 for adults.

Come, see the show, and enjoy!
