      Start with a great cast, sprightly choreography, creative sets and staging, and you get a very attractive production of one of the great favorites of musical theater. Director Anne Stewart Mark uses the recent Oliver! revival, rather than the 50-year old version. Naturally, there are some unfamiliar elements, and particularly if you only know the movie. In addition, she seems to have gone back to the original novel, adding dialog that is not in any stage version. Some of that doesn’t seem to quite work out. This Oliver! sounds different as well. The orchestra is small (and immensely talented, as always at The Grand), but Music Director Kevin Mathie (quite simply a national treasure!) has re-written the entire score, making it much darker than we are used to. That is particularly noticeable in the trio reprising “Fine Life.” Fun and games the first time round, bitter and cynical in reprise, with more than a little desperation. Definitely worth seeing.
