So we stumbled across an entertaining show on streaming, The Artful Dodger. I had heard nothing about this series from 2023. Not a peep. It was very good. But it triggered a memory from 1987. It was one of the first times I got involved with a aspiring producer who was looking to break into the business.
I forget how I came upon him, probably an ad in one of the trade papers or the Village Voice. He had people coming up for interviews to a rehearsal hall. He said he had been working on Broadway and touring shows. One of the shows was Oliver! It was during this time he thought of the idea of a sequel. It would be about Fagin and his life after the events of Oliver Twist. And it would be a television series.
