How about the reintroduction of the Work House? I've seen Oliver. Not a fat kid in sight, and they were clearly having the time of their lives. After all, they sang such lovely songs!

It would also create some employment opportunities long thought to be extinct. Who wouldn't want to be a Beadle? It Looks great fun!
