Wonderful
The entire cast did a tremendous job recreating
childhood memories of the movie into living color.
Each cast member did a phenomenal job perfecting
the cadence, accent and mannerisms of the original
cast members. Highly entertaining. You will have
chills from the lion’s performance, but all cast
members gave remarkable performances. ... Read more

LOVED DOROTHY!
This production was entertaining, fun, and didn't put me to sleep like
most other performances i see! I absolutely loved Dorothy and thought
the actress did a phenomenal job. All of the actors, especially the four
main characters, were incredible, but Dorothy blew the performance
out of the water. Her singing, acting, voice, and dancing were all
incredible. Whenever I see plays, the acting usually doesn't impress me;
but Dorothy truly was the perfect fit. ... Read more

Wizard of Oz
Not sure what I was expecting; but I walked away
wondering why some of the subtle changes in certain
scenes while others where performed verbatim from
the original. For someone who grew up watching the
original movie I found it a bit disconcerting. I really
didn't appreciate the interjection of one liners and
rather lame humor. It made it feel as though one felt
that the original couldn't stand on its own on stage;
which I feel it most surely could. There was certainly
nothing I would call scary, from the sulty evening
gown clad trees to the wicked witch herself. Perhaps
this was intentional as I am sure the intent was to
welcome families with children. The witch was almost
a parody of a wicked witch to me; which again was
quite possibly intentional. The flying scenes left me
rather disappointed; there was really no flying , only
dropping in with wires clearly visible; which made me
wonder; why bother! But all in all, an enjoyable
experience. Personally, lion stole the show for me!
