Bart, Lionel

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.05 sec.

Bart, Lionel (1930–1999)

English composer and lyricist. His musical Lock Up Your Daughters (1959) ended the USA's domination of London's music theatre. Further acclaim followed with Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'be (1959), Oliver (1960), and Blitz! (1962).

Bart was born in London. His first success, Lock Up Your Daughters, was based on Henry Fielding's play Rape upon Rape (1730). Maggie May, a between-the-wars story of a Liverpool prostitute, was staged in 1964. His Robin Hood musical, Twang! (1965), and La Strada (1969) were box-office failures.
