Oliver the musical is based on the novel Oliver Twist which was written by Charles Dickens. It is set in Victorian London and Oliver Twist is an orphan in one of the  workhouses. The story starts  with all the children going down to have supper when Oliver utters the immortal words "Please Sir, can I have some more".
