MORE PHOTOS NEXT 2 PAGES OLIVER Charles Dickens probably never dreamed his popular drama Oliver Twist could be turned into a rollicking stage musical. But a few years ago songwriter-playwright Lionel Bart proved it could be done. Stevenson ' s production of Oliver was a solid hit, selling out all five performances. As usual, the ef fort was directed by Mr. Dave Groen, with musical direction by Mr. Lowell Everson, and choreography by Jean Newell. Almost 50 cast members were selected in November, and ten weeks of rehearsals began the first week in January. In addition to the cast, many others participated, including orchestra members, and behind- the-scenes crews for properties, makeup, lighting, sound, publicity, set construction and the Hospitality Club. Top applause-getters were Joel Miller as the miserly Fagin, Christa Yanalunas as the tragic Nancy and Dave Perample as young Oliver.
