Aug 6, 2017 · Aug 6 Food Glorious Food - A Broadway Musical Meal. Mark Robinson. Music That Makes Me Dance. I must be hungry today, as all I can seem to think about are showtunes that make references to food. It started out with "Food, Glorious Food" from Oliver!and escalated into a full-on party in my head of songs that celebrate eating.
" Food, Glorious Food ", written by Lionel Bart, is the opening song from the 1960s West End and Broadway musical (and 1968 film) Oliver! Musical theme.
The unforgettable tunes include “Food Glorious Food”, “Consider Yourself”, “You’ve Got To Pick A Pocket Or Two”, “I’d Do Anything” and “Oom-Pah-Pah” – all immensely catchy songs, conveyed via very well put together sequences.
This is the one of the more memorable songs from the award winning musical Oliver!, which was written in its entirety by the London-born composer Lionel Bart (1930-99). The show is an adaptation of the famous Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist ; it opened in the West End in 1960, and on the big screen (directed by Carol Reed) in 1968.
