Editorial Review: From Amazon.com: Lionel Bart's wonderful musical adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic was the first London stage musical to be transplanted to Broadway with the same kind of sensation it received in Britain-- something that is now common in these post-Cats/Les Miserables times. Although no one from this British cast ever became enormously famous (future Monkee Davy Jones was in the second Broadway cast)--and Sir Carol Reed's film version receives all the critical accolades--this remains the better recording, featuring all the songs cut from the film, while excluding the film's musical interludes that simply seem annoying without the visuals. Just compare Bruce Brochnik to the film's Mark Lester in the title role. Or Clive Revill to Ron Moody's Fagin. Or any of the principals, for that matter--and the differences are remarkable. --Bill Holdship Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great songs, great singers, great value.I bought this to take on holiday with us. We sang along to it for hours. Rating:  - A good soundtrackI've always loved the film Oliver! especially singing along with the musical numbers in the film. So recently I purchased the CD soundtrack. I already love the songs so there's no issue there but the songs are cut from what is heard in the film. This disapointed me which is why i've only given it three stars. Rating: - Musically superb.There are few musicals with so many great numbers as Oliver!: 'Consider Yourself'; 'You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two'; 'As Long As He Needs Me'; 'Reviewing the Situation'....the list just goes on and on. Lionel Bart never wrote a better musical (and I'm not sure anyone else did). It's now an incredible bargain at Amazon's current price of under £3-00. Some people prefer the stage recording (there are some odd balances in this, the film recording, but they don't detract from the pleasure) ; but for sheer joy and wonderful orchestral arrangements, you should snap this up. Terrific. Rating: - The film - on diskOliver! is one of those shows which has become well known through the film. Although the stage show has a few extra songs, Carol Reid's cinema version is a faithful adaptation which delivers spectacle aplenty, and has served as the definitive cinema musical for many others. The recording is faithful, but adds nothing to the film itself, and suffers from a weak lead that cannot be lifted when the visuals are removed. I would recommend the London Revival above this recording, but film fans may well enjoy this version. Rating: - "It a fine, FIIIIINE life"What a fantastic film with a brilliant soundtrack. I used to watch this when I was only 2 and from then on knew the entire film off by heart, including the script. If you like musicals, then this is the one for you. It is a real get up and dance type film, and will have you entertained for hours even though there are no pictures to watch. And who says you have to be able to sing to enjoy this soundtrack? Half the time in the Oom Pa Pa song there are lots of drunk men singing, so if you are really terrible you can always play/ sing those parts. Great price. buy buy buy!! |
