I do agree about Oliver being black as that would be a continuity error as Garinda said, you see members of his family.
I dont think it matters in musicals about colour unless the role calls for it. I've seen Gary Wilmot again in Me & My Girl, and I was in a production of Me & My Girl where Bill was played by a black actor. When I was in it I didnt even think about it and nobody has ever mentioned it.

The BBC had a black Nancy in their production last Christmas.
