Oliver! revival to release cast album

The new production of Oliver! will release a brand new cast album to coincide with its West End season at the Gielgud Theatre.

The hit revival, which bagged a five-star review from WhatsOnStage and a plethora of WhatsOnStage Award nominations when it first opened at Chichester’s Festival Theatre over the summer, is devised by Cameron Mackintosh, with direction and choreography by Matthew Bourne, with co-director Jean-Pierre van der Spuy.

Adapted from Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist by Lionel Bart, Oliver! follows an orphaned boy of the same name as he escapes the confines of the workhouse and finds refuge in the city’s underworld. Tunes include “Food Glorious Food”, “Consider Yourself”, ”You’ve Got to Pick-a-Pocket or Two”, and “As Long As He Needs Me.”

The show, which commences performances on Saturday, will have its album released on CD and digital on 10 January 2025, though “Food, Glorious, Food” is available to stream now as an amuse-bouche. The album, co-produced with First Night Records, was recorded in front of a live audience in Chichester earlier this year, and is now presented in Dolby Atmos immersive audio.

It is produced by Lee McCutcheon, Stephen Metcalfe and Cameron Mackintosh, mixed by Lee McCutcheon at Wildtone Studios, London and mastered by Simon Gibson at Abbey Road Studios, London.
