Summary Napolitano reconstructs the complicated biography of Bart's play, from its early inception as a pop musical inspired by a marketable image through its evolution into a sincere Dickensian adaptation that would push English musical theatre to new dramatic heights. The book also addresses the phenomenal reception of 'Oliver!' in England, as the public touted the musical's Englishness with a nationalistic fervour.
Contents Setting the stage: Oliver Twist, Lionel Bart, and cultural contexts -- "The image for the show came to me from a candy": writing Oliver! -- "There is no reason why the show should not be a big success": Oliver!'s evolution -- "This was the real Dickens": the triumph of Oliver! -- "Oliver!
