Entertainment : Act 1\'s \'Oliver\' opens tonight at Palace

Alex Vasquez as the undertaker Mr. Sowerberry sings to Mr. Bumble (Chris Overturf) about burial.

The musical "Oliver," based on the well-known Dickens novel "Oliver Twist," brings the story of a London orphan and his live among pickpockets to life on the Palace stage over the next two weekends. Show times are 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. 

"I've had a great time being part of a team that has put together one of my favorite musicals," says Director Steve Arnold. "All the directors have contributed mightily and the cast has been exceptional. I hope the community enjoys the show half as much as everyone who has had a part in bringing it to the stage has had."
