Musical

We hold a musical production each year, hosted alternately by our Primary and Secondary campuses. This fosters a strong tradition of excellence in student performances from Prep to Year 12 and the opportunity to take lead, supporting or chorus roles, or be a member of a backstage crew for sets, hair, make-up, choreography, and more.

Oliver

Our 2025 musical, Oliver, will be produced by our Secondary students and held 24-27 July 2025.

About the Musical

Presented by Brisbane Adventist College (Secondary), the streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver, a malnourished orphan in a workhouse, becomes the neglected apprentice of an undertaker in Lionel Bart's award-winning classic musical based on the Charles Dickens novel, Oliver Twist.

He would not even be able to afford and item from Aldi Catalogue. 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.
