oliver

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'show for which' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.

'band requires an organ' is the wordplay.
'band' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues).
'requires' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'an organ' becomes 'liver' (liver is a kind of organ).
'o'+'liver'='OLIVER'

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oliver that I've seen before include "stage show" , "One taking pride in food" , "Dickens-based musical" , "Dickensian role?" , "Lionel Bart musical" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
