Oliver! is a British musical, with
music and lyrics by Lionel Bart. It was made into a film
directed by Carol Reed. It first appeared in the West End in
1960, and enjoyed a long run that launched the careers of
several child actors, including Davy Jones, later of The Monkees,
Phil Collins, later of Genesis, and Tony Robinson, later playing
the role of Baldrick in the television series Black Adder. The
rock star Steve Marriott (The Small Faces, Humble Pie) also
featured in early line-ups, eventually graduating to the role of
Dodger in the West End. The musical is loosely based upon
Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. That it was the first
musical adaptation of a Dickens novel to become a stage hit was
one of the reasons why it attracted such attention.
