Coming-of-age musical 13 made history on Broadway, and now it s coming to Netflix. Here are five more new musicals - and some classics - to stream today.
Written by Rhys Thomas and Lucy Montgomery (who will also appear on-screen),
Dodger takes place before the events of
Oliver Twist. The series follows the exploits of the cunning pickpocket, the Artful Dodger, and the other children working in Faginâs gang as they find ingenious ways to survive the grim and exploitative conditions of Victorian London.
âFagin is an iconic role; Iâm a very fortunate actor,â said Eccleston. âRhys Thomas and Lucy Montgomery have taken Charles Dickensâ extraordinary characters and imagined a whole new world and lives for them. Iâm very, very excited.â

Rounding out the cast is Sam C Wilson as Bill Sikes, Tanya Reynolds as Queen Victoria, Frances Barber as theatrical dame Eliza Vestris, and Javone Prince as PC Blathers. Members of Faginâs gang will be played by newcomer Aabay Ali, Ellie-May Sheridan, Mila Lieu, and Connor Curren.
