The song is part of Act One of Oliver!, and is sung in Fagin's lair. It begins with spoken dialogue between Nancy and the Artful Dodger, soon leading into the song. Other characters who have lines in the song are Oliver, Fagin and Bet (Nancy's younger sister in the musical; her best friend in the 1968 film and in the original novel), with Fagin's Boys as chorus.
Dodger humorously starts pretending to be an upper-class citizen, along with Fagin, Oliver, Nancy, Bet, and the boys mocking high society.Lionel Bart (August 1, 1930 April 3, 1999) was a writer and composer of British pop music and musicals, best known for creating the book, music & lyrics for Oliver!"I'd Do Anything" is a song performed by various characters in the 1960 British musical Oliver! and the 1968 film of the same name.
