As directed by Patrick Nims, Stumptown Stages' production of the 1960 show brings out the rousing cheer of Lionel Bart's music ... even as villainous adult characters cackle over their mistreatment of unfortunate children. With a book, music and lyrics, by Bart, Oliver! is an adaptation of Charles Dickens' 1838 novel Oliver Twist, and Stumptown has projected chapter titles that evoke the thrilling satisfaction of turning the pages of a beloved leatherbound book.
