The Tony and Olivier Award-winning show is one of the few musicals to win an Academy Award for Best Picture and is widely hailed as a true theatrical masterpiece by actors and audience members alike.

The streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse, becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker. Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance amongst a group of petty thieves and pickpockets led by the elderly Fagin. When Oliver is captured for a theft that he did not commit, the benevolent victim, Mr. Brownlow takes him in. Fearing the safety of his hideout, Fagin employs the sinister Bill Sikes and the sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back, threatening Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of a family.

Oliver! is a musical theatre masterpiece, perfectly showcasing the talents of a large ensemble cast as they bring these classic characters and score to life.

By Arrangement with Cameron Mackintosh. Production licensed by Music Theatre International (Australia).

Kāpiti Playhouse is delighted to bring you Jason Robert Brown’s intimate window into a couple’s doomed marriage - Drama Desk award-winner The Last Five Years.

Cathy, a struggling actress, and Jamie, a budding novelist on the brink of wild success, are 20- somethings in New York who meet, fall in love, marry, and divorce over the span of five years. Cathy tells the story from the end of their marriage; Jamie begins from when they first meet. As the musical unfolds, Cathy moves backward in time to the beginning of the relationship as Jamie moves toward the end; they meet only once, in the middle, at their wedding.

Since its Off-Broadway premiere in 2002, Brown’s funny, poignant, and devastatingly honest two-person production has enraptured audiences around the world with its spellbinding and emotional score and libretto.

Only on stage for a limited 5 show season, be sure to buy now to secure your tickets to this must-see 2023 production on Eventfinda www.eventfinda.co.nz...

Stepping Out comes to Kapiti in July 2023.

A comedy in which 8 people from varying backgrounds, with their own issues, inhibitions and quirks, attend the same weekly tap-dancing class in a dingy church hall. Initially, the students treat the classes as a social occasion. However, when Mavis (the ex-professional), learns her amateur dance class are to perform at a grand charity show, everyone’s determination and abilities are put to the test.

Throughout the play, details of their personal lives are revealed, and relationships are tested and forged. Can these ungainly dancers transform into a cohesive group of tappers in a show worthy of a standing ovation? Can they step up to step out?

Book your tickets today! Show runs Thursday 27th July to Saturday 5th August 2023.
