'''Oliver!''' is a [[musical]], written by Lionel Bart, based on the [[Charles Dickens]] novel, Oliver Twist. the plot is considerably simplified, with many of the characters losing much of their original depth (such as Fagin, who becomes considerably more comedic in the musical and loses much of his original darker side.) Some characters, such as Oliver's [[brother]] Monks, are removed entirely.
