I think Oliver! would be perfect, with 2 cautionary notes. 1) I really don't know how you would "star cast" the show. Adele as Nancy, maybe? 2) The kids in SOM follow the adults onstage, really. In Oliver!, especially the title character, would need a real knockout kid. It would be difficult to cast someone with the singing/moving/acting chops who could come across as a real kid but with the heft to handle himself onstage with adult actors to always lead him. A lot harder than casting it for the stage.
