Oliva Tweest is an exciting new Afrobeats musical, the first play of its kind to feature in the West End and featuring some of the most popular faces in the burgeoning U.K Afrobeats landscape.

The story, based on D’Banj’s 2012 HIT single “Oliver Twist”, is set in present day London and follows a promiscuous young man (Tobi) whose past comes back to haunt
him when he meets a girl (Testimony) that will change his life forever.

Combined with excellent comedic performances, great imagery, captivating choreography and resounding vocals the show is driven by a fresh and exciting cast of some of the best new and emerging theatre professionals of 2013.

The Oliva Tweest live band and vocal group –
coached by Conrad Benjamin of Clarity Vocals – will be recreating and performing beautiful cover renditions of some of our favourite Afrobeats songs originally by the likes of Wizkid, D’Banj, among others.
