Oliver! The originals
'Oliver!' opened at the New Theatre in London on 30 June 1960. Keith Hamshere (left) was the original Oliver, and Martin Horsey (right) was an exuberant Artful Dodger. I met them when I was a young reporter doing a feature article about the show - hence the signed photo.
Others in the original cast were Ron Moody (Fagin), Georgia Brown
(Nancy), Barry Humphries (yes - him!) as Mr Sowerberry, and Paul
Whitsun-Jones (Mr Bumble). Among the workhouse boys were Stephen
Marriott (who was later to find fame in the Small Faces and Humble
Pie), and Tony Robinson, who was to become Blackadder's Baldrick and
now potters around archaeological sites with TV cameras in tow.
