Musical boy (6)
I believe the answer is:
oliver
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'musical' is the first definition.
(musical based on Oliver Twist)
'boy' is the second definition.
(Other definitions for oliver that I've seen before include "Dickensian role?" , "Chef" , "Character in Dickens" , "Dickens boy named Twist" , "A Cromwell, a Twist" .)
