Although no one from this British cast ever became enormously famous (future Monkee Davy Jones was in the 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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0090266411320\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.6 x 5.0 x 0.6 inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Masterworks Broadway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45179678097431,"sku":"B000002W6A","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/2096\/4375\/files\/81Hwar8zyaL.jpg?v=1780021705","url":"https:\/\/thestagedoorexchange.com\/products\/oliver-1963-original-broadway-cast","provider":"The Stage Door Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
