The Story Oliver! is about the "the search for love," Lionel Bart once said. In the key song, "Where Is Love?", Oliver yearns for his mother. Nancy hungers for Bill Sikes' love, and even Fagin seeks it in his gang of youngsters. The story tells of a boy, born in a workhouse, to a woman of obvious good breeding. She dies in childbirth. The boy is later sold to the highest bidder when he dares to ask for more food. This high bidder, an undertaker, mistreats him, and an assistant bullies the little lad. liver manages to escape, finds his way to London, and meets a young lowlife known as the Artful Dodger, who brings him to the lair of an old fence, Fagin, where the boy is tutored in crime. ' e meets Nancy and Bill Sikes, friends of Fagin. Though Nancy loves the ruf?an Sikes, she feels sympathy for Oliver when Bill picks on him. On his ?rst attempt as a piekpocket, Oliver is arrested and charged--with stealing from a Mr. Brmvnlow. Recognizing something in Oliver he cannot put his finger on, Brownlow takes the boy home and starts him on a new and happy life. But one day, out doing an errand for his benefactor, Oliver is seized by Sikes and - reluctantly - by Nancy, too. How Brownlow leams that he is Oliver's great--uncle, and how Nancy gives her life to rescue Oliver for Sikes - these elements in Dickens' tale are related faithfully, but in a new, "never before" way, through drama, music and dance.
