Cameron Mackintosh Releases New Footage for Oliver! at London's Gielgud Theatre

Cameron Mackintosh has unveiled brand new footage and production photography for his latest rendition of Lionel Bart’s beloved musical, Oliver! This fresh glimpse into the production comes ahead of its premiere on 14 December 2024, at London's Gielgud Theatre, with bookings now extended through to 28 September 2025 due to high demand.
