As the story of young Oliver Twist unfolds, viewers seated in the mid stalls are perfectly placed to appreciate the dynamic performances, the richly detailed sets, and the lively choreography. The infectious energy of classics like "Consider Yourself" and "Food, Glorious Food" resonates through this prime seating area, making every moment of the show even more engaging and memorable.
