Lionel Bart News

MusicalFare Theatre will present OLIVER! from September 7th - October 16th.

There have been several musical plays based on Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. The first and biggest hit was Lionel Bart's Oliver, which went on to a major film in 1968 and a multitude of Oscars. There has been a gay version as well, also titled Twist, that was nominated for Critics' prizes in New York, and now there's the interracially cast adaptation Twist in its West Coast premiere at the Pasadena Playhouse. From top to bottom the show is slick and a triumph for director/choreographer Debbie Allen. The cast is fine-tuned, and much of the music quite memorably singable. Its only flaw, for purists like me, is in the book, which does not include the charming Fagin, whose deliciously mischievous manipulation of everybody in Oliver Twist is a major highlight.

Lyric Stage, Dallas County's only locally produced professional musical theater company, presents Lionel Bart's OLIVER! June 10-19, 2011 in the Irving Arts Center's Carpenter Performance Hall.
