The youthful Talentz team bring a fresh perspective on the popular standard, The Wizard of Oz. All the familiar characters are there, Dorothy, Auntie Em, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion. In this production, inspired by the recent film, Wicked, Toto talks once the storm lands her and Dorothy over the rainbow into the land of Oz. I loved seeing things from a dog’s point of view.
We all know the story, how the motley crew follow the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City, beset by the vengeful Wicked Witch of the West. These young people deliver this enchanting story with a freshness and enthusiasm that captivates the audience and transports them to the magical land of Oz. My only criticism was that sometimes the accompanying music drowns out the singing in solo pieces.
