THE much anticipated return to the boards at Thurrock's Thameside Theatre in Grays by musical theatre group TOPS on Stage happens this week with their performance of Lionel Bart's 'Oliver'.

The musical will run from Tuesday, 5 October to Saturday, 9 October.

Saturday's matinee performance is already sold out and there are just a handful of tickets left for that evening's performance, but tickets are available during the week.

Tickets are £18 for adults, £16 for concessions and a family ticket for four is £62. Booking can be made via this link
