Based on Charles Dickens’ novel Oliver Twist, the stage musical premiered on London’s West End in 1960 be- fore moving on to Broadway in 1963. It’s en- joyed many revivals over the years on either side of the Atlantic, but if Area Stage has proved time and time again, it’s not going to simply put on the same ol’ musical. Expect to be immersed in the tale of a young orphan in Victorian England as he tries to deal with a tough life and the found family he amasses along the way. 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through February 25, at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, 1300 Biscayne Blvd., Mi- ami; 305-949-6722; arshtcenter.org.
