	Oliver (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Bart's background in a large, Jewish East End family instinctively drew him to the material of Charles Dickens'; 'Oliver Twist'; but musicalizing the beloved novel, already the basis of several films, was considered a risky venture.
		Bart wisely provided his musical, called simply Oliver!, with the description "freely adapted from..." The show captures the heart and essential plot, characters, and atmosphere of its 1838 source, ably conveying its underworld of thugs and thieves, and Dickens'; heartfelt criticism of social conditions of the era.
		But of necessity, Bart eliminated numerous characters and plot strands, simplifying, softening, and sentimentalizing some of his source, notably the character of Fagin, who in the musical becomes a comically lovable rogue, rather than the scary, abusive figure of the novel.

		Lionel Hutz is named after Sir Lionel Luckhoo, Q.C., the senior partner of Luckhoo and Luckhoo, in Georgetown, Guyana, who succeeded in getting 245 successive murder charge acquittals between 1940 and 1985 (which contrasts with Hutz's career who "has never won a case").
		p.89 Lionel and four other male attorneys (including the nasal pasty-faced lawyer with glasses, though his skin is notably more yellow than usual) illustrate the vocabulary-enriching phrase, "a prey of lawyers." They all look at you with half-closed, sardonic eyes and evil sneers.
