Photo Flash: First Look at NC Theatre's OLIVER! Opening 7/17

By:
The NC Theatre will present OLIVER! opening tonight through July 22nd at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium. BroadwayWorld has a first look of the show below.

Based on the Charles Dickens tale, Oliver! brings to life the ever- popular story of the young runaway orphan, colorful Artful Dodger, infamous Fagin and his gang of pickpockets, sinister Bill Sykes, nurturing and lovable Nancy and a host of memorable characters. Through classic songs like "As Long As He Needs Me," "Where is Love?", "Who Will Buy?" and many more, triumph overcomes heartbreak in this production for audiences of all ages.

The NC Theatre debuted with the musical Camelot in May of 1984. It starred Terrence Mann as King Arthur and Sharon Lawrence as Guinevere. Mann, a graduate of the UNC School of the Arts, has played Javert in Les Miserables, The Beast in Beauty and the Beast, Chauvelin in Scarlet Pimpernel and Rum Tum Tugger in Cats on Broadway. Lawrence, a University of North Carolina student, found fame as Sylvia Stipowitz on NYPD Blue, Velma Kelly in Chicago and countless other roles on TV, stage and film.
