| James Wilson takes a look at Oliver! at City Center Encores!: In his 1963 New York Times (mixed) review of Oliver!, critic Howard Taubman lamented that the show "too often settles for stridency, smoke, easy laughs and facile showbiz razzmatazz." Thankfully, except for the smoke, the current Encores! production, which runs through next week, doesn't merely settle for those qualities, it celebrates them. While downplaying the musical's dark social undertones and horrific violence, this Oliver! is a buoyant, swirling, and candied Victorian confection. |
