When Oliver!<\/em>, the musical based on Charles Dickens’ novel Oliver Twist<\/em>, comes to the Algonquin Theatre stage in April, it may leave you feeling the same as its young protagonist \u2014 wanting more.<\/p>\n

Rehearsals are underway for the Rotary Club of Huntsville \/ Huntsville Festival of the Arts annual production and if the cast and crew are any indication, it’s going to be quite the show.<\/p>\n

The director is Mallary Duncan, choreographer is Kasey Stephan-Charlebois and the musical director is Neal Barlow. Producing the show is Rob Saunders and the stage managers are Susanne Riverin and Pat Lightfoot.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

The cast is 70 members strong \u2014 35 kids and 35 adults \u2014 including the production’s leads:<\/p>\n

Daniel Gamper as Oliver;
\nSerge Charlebois as Fagin;
\nAlberta Robinet as the Artful Dodger;
\nLauren Saunders and Holly Sewell as Nancy; and
\nRob Duncan as Bill Sikes.<\/p>\n

Mallary Duncan says she chose Oliver!<\/em> as her first Huntsville community musical for many reasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know this show very well as I have actually directed it in the past. I think its a great show and has an important message,” said Duncan. “It’s perfect for the Huntsville community because since its quite a familiar show it’ll be great for first timers as well as returning members.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a director, Duncan wants her cast and crew to be a part of a positive atmosphere that keeps them coming back to community theatre and loving every minute of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know the joy community theatre has brought me and how important it is to both myself and our community,\u201d said Duncan.<\/p>\n

Even though we are just two rehearsals in, I am so blown away and impressed by this amazing cast.

“When we had our first rehearsal we did a group sing-a-long of Consider Yourself and I couldn\u2019t believe the talent,” adds Duncan. “After hearing everyone together I decided to add some more harmonies to the song because I know they can handle it.”<\/p>\n

The cast will continue twice-weekly rehearsals until Oliver!<\/em> opens in mid-April at the Algonquin Theatre. Evening performances are April 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m.; matinees are on April 15 and 22 at 2:00 p.m. There will also be two matinees for local schools on April 12 and 19.
