Went to The Wizard of Oz last night with my daughter and 10 year old grandson, the cast are exceptional, main characters brilliant, the scenery cleverly done, set a little bit in the modern world it still takes you back to the film, the songs even had myself and my daughter crying at one song, it had comedy everything, Craig Revel Horwood was a revelation, well done to everyone, all the cast worked so hard. Thank you for a wonderful evening. ... Read more
