Oliver!

by Lionel Hart

The design drew inspiration from both gaslamp fantasy and steampunk. Because we pushed the world so much, I researched the costumes from previous productions (something I usually avoid doing) and played off of some of those traditional ideas, creating a look for each character that was familiar while still very unique.
