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!

Outstanding
I do not have a great experience in live performances, only can say that after 10 min the play started I was transported to the story, I was absolutely
surprised about the songs and the different twist to original story. Went with my 6 years old , who has ADD and he was engaged the whole time, we
loved! Is a must! ... 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
