** This applies to Oliver and Mr. Brownlow in this adaptation as well. In the novel, Mr. Brownlow was a friend of Oliver's father, and would have been his sister-in-law had his bride-to-be, Oliver's paternal aunt, not died on their wedding day. In the musical, Oliver's mother Agnes is Brownlow's daughter, who ran off when her fiance jilted her (to spare her father the shame of her out-of-wedlock pregnancy). This makes Brownlow Oliver's grandfather, a device borrowed from David Lean's film version. The film version of the musical makes Oliver's mother his niece instead of his daughter.

* AmbiguouslyJewish: The musical omits any direct reference to Fagin's Jewishness, but Lionel Bart (who was Jewish himself) infuses Fagin's music with what has been described as a klezmer sound, and Ron Moody (who was also Jewish) played this up, particularly on the original cast album.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Fagin is still not exactly a heroic character, being self-serving and at least somewhat manipulative. However, he's much nicer than his villainous book counterpart, as he does show genuine kindness and care to the children he trains as thieves and makes a dramatic contrast to the abusive and cruel adults Oliver has encountered previously.[[note]]This change was done in part to mitigate the perceived anti-Semitism in the original novel, which featured a highly [[GreedyJew unflattering and stereotypical]] portrayal of this Jewish character, whose ethnic and religious background is only [[AmbiguouslyJewish hinted at]] in the musical.[[/note]]
