Based on Charles Dickens’ beloved novel Oliver Twist, this Tony and Olivier award-winning show has enchanted audiences for decades and even claimed the Academy Award for Best Picture.

As Oliver is wrongfully accused of theft, he finds an unexpected saviour in the kind-hearted Mr. Brownlow. Fearing the safety of his hideout, Fagin employs the sinister Bill Sykes and the sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back, threatening Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of a family.

The award-winning musical springs to life with some of the most memorable characters and spirited songs, (“Food, Glorious Food,” and “Consider Yourself”), to ever grace the stage.

When little Shizu hides in her Otosan’s suitcase and secretly travels to his most dangerous destination The North, her presence is a big surprise and an even bigger nuisance to her gruff, no-nonsense father. Facing snowy owls, white wolves and grizzly bears in the most remote of locations, Otosan and Shizu must learn to tackle challenges together, eventually learning how to communicate their love. Inspired by co-creator Shizuka Kai’s real-life experience with her father, a wildlife videographer, Otosan is a beautifully told story that uses puppetry, real wildlife projections and an original score to take the audience on an immersive journey.
