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.

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.

AWESOME
I loved this show. Toto was so cute. Singing and dancing were great.
Dennine from Boston, Massachusetts
WIZARD OF OZ
i thought this production was wonderful.
The cast was energetic, talented and fun to
watch. I felt at home with the characters.
Dorothy was great as was her little dog too. I
especially enjoyed the effects used to show
the tornado. I loved the Wicked Witch of the
West....she was a hoot! From the costumes
to the choreography, it was a great evening
of entertainment. i highly recommend for
children and adults alike.

PRETTY GOOD
It was very good, but the
tree's were more revealing than expected and the witch was hard to understand
Mark from Detroit, Michigan
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!

FOR THE CHILDREN
I think children would enjoy the production.
It was rather slow paced. And the extra number in the second act (Jitterbug) didn't really help.
From the Balcony, the projection of the Wizard was only half visible. We could see the mount,
but not the whole face.
Although the show has now moved on ... I think the total cost was too much for the
production and seats we had.
The Actress doing Dorothy was excellent. I thought the Scarecrow part was also very good.
Toto looked scared to death. I felt bad for the puppy.

DISAPPOINTED
I took my wife to the Chicago show last
night, for Mothers Day.. The acting, singing
and dancing by the actors was great. The set
and props were horrible. They used a TV
screen in the back. Yhe actual sets were
minimal and not used appropriately. The
first witch scene talking to her monkey, that
was supposed to be at her castle, was
performed in front of the prior OZ set. The
first scene when they visited the wizard,
there were so visions of OZ projected above
the booth, as they were in the second visit.
Definitely noticed it missing in the first one.
Like I said, the actors were good, but the
production seemed amateurish and sloppy. I
paid way to much for a professional play and
left very disappointed. I would not
recommend it.

WIZARD OF OZ AT THE CHICAGO THEATER
Main floor 5th row center. Six in our group.
We relied on our memory of lines from the
movie because the sound system garbled
much of what actors said. Dorothy actress
overacted and spoke in an annoying childlike
voice. It was a long night. We wanted to
cheer them on and go up the arc with the
actors but the performance was flat. There
were lame one liners. And though the actors
knew their lines they did not inhabit their
characters. Glenda actress seemed not to
get who her character is and should tone it
down. Costumes looked worn and tired.
Some of the dance scenes were energetic
but the acting was so pitiful and the seats
were uncomfortable.
A very disappointed Wizard of OZ Fan. from Chicago, Illinois
I JUST WISH THE SET WAS BETTER....BAD CHOICES!!!!
Nothing like expecting somewhere over the rainbow and landing in front of a TV screen. The
acting was OK but the set, props and costumes were sub-par. not what i expected AT ALL!!!! the
wizard was scary and Glinda was like a sugared up screamer. it was just disappointing. PS, the
munchkins are supposed to be small, not 5-6 foot plus and the trees should be TREES not
dancing ladies. And honestly, where was the YELLOW BRICK ROAD, surely not in this show.
this one seriously missed the mark.
Casey from Chicago, Illinois
WIZARD OF OZ
I'm a Chicago actor and director and I was so unbelievably disappointed in this show.
I'm a big believer that unless you can tell a story in a way that hasn't been done
before, then you shouldn't attempt to put it onstage. This was a joke of a show. The
set was a screen and the costuming was like something from a state college theater
program. I'm so glad I didn't pay for these tickets because the entire show was a
missed opportunity. The set, the costumes, the actors, the special effects were all a
joke. This was just an expensive community theater production of The Wizard of Oz.
Whose Dad paid for this show? How the Chicago Theater let a show like this go up is
unbelievable to me. I might pay ten dollars to see a show like this but not the 50
dollars I saw some tickets going for. i would not recommend spending money to
see this show.
Margaret from St. Louis, Missouri
THE WIZARD OF OZ
I was extremely disappointed with
this production. I have seen 50+ live
shows but this is my first review!
Dorothy's mike needs to be turned
up. There were many faces in the
shadows. Toto was cute but surprised
at the lack of attention knowing how
much trainers can do. Some of the
singing numbers were off time with
the music. Where were the special
effects? That red dot was suppose to
be a ball of fire? What fire was
Dorothy even trying to put out? This
made the whole melting seen less
dramatic. I was SO disappointed with
the costumes, the sets, the special
effects. The Munchkins looked like
clowns, the Wizard on the screen
looked like a cat and what are
Winkies? There was no "yellow brick
road". Emerald City was just a
cardboard cutout. Why couldn't they
have shined a red spotlight on
Dorothy's ruby slippers to make them
glisten? The Wicked Witch kept
wiggling her long nails, which didn't
exist. Is it too hard to make a
handlebar mustache on the
doorman? I'm sorry but VERY
amateurish!
