The Wizard of Oz

Event Flyer

Follow the yellow brick road in this delightful stage adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s beloved tale, featuring the iconic musical score from the MGM film. The timeless tale, in which young Dorothy Gale travels from Kansas over the rainbow to the magical Land of Oz, continues to thrill audiences worldwide.

 

SLT is producing the full-length RSC version which includes the songs “Over the Rainbow,” “Munchkinland (Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead),” “If I Only Had a Brain/a Heart/the Nerve,” “We’re Off to See the Wizard (Follow the Yellow Brick Road),” “Jitterbug,” and “The Merry Old Land of Oz,” “Poppies (Optimistic Voices),” and “If I Were King of the Forest.”

 

This RSC version is a faithful adaptation of the film. A more technically complex production, it recreates the dialogue and structure of the MGM classic nearly scene for scene, though it is adapted for live stage performance.

 My husband & I was disappointed with the casting of a drag queen for the Good Witch. We hadn’t heard the talks after the first shows. Otherwise I would have never bought the season passes. It has been a few years since I was a season pass holder at SLT. We decided to get passes as we enjoyed plays at SLT due to the family friendly program previously provided. If this is the direction SLT board is taking the theatre then I will not be purchasing season passes in the future.

 Another excellent production. The ensemble did a brilliant job supporting the principal cast which added so much to my experience. As always, the working volunteers were friendly and welcoming. And it’s always great to run into Elizabeth.

 I brought 4 grandchildren ages 4-7. They were completely enthralled and far better behaved than other audience members. The constant "whooping" for particular cast members was off putting, poor theatre etiquette. It seems if you intend to have such a lengthy introduction and campaign for ticketing (very important parts of a 501c3) that you might mention audience behavior. I brought my grandchildren as part of their cultural exposure and a new place appropriate behavior.

 We loved it! And are so sad that we had to leave at the intermission. I brought my 3 year old thinking it could be a fun experience for her but she missed nap time and wanted to leave. Didn't want any interruptions, but what we saw was wonderful!!

 There were some odd pauses due to canned music, but the performances were strong enough to combat this. You could tell they were having a blast and that definitely infected the audience. Dorothy was perfectly cast & the sidekicks were unique and talented, especially vocals by the Tin Man. Glinda was the perfect introduction into the magical land of Oz. Not only was she stunning, but she gave just the right amount of charm and wit. Well done, everyone!

 Loved the production . Very clever staging, dancing, music, acting, especially Dorothy, although all were just delightful. Great costumes as well. One constructive comment was the music. It was too loud at times and overpowered the voices of the singers. Other than that, it was truly very enjoyable

How did you like the event?

 We were skeptical at first. Had we not paid for season tickets we would not have come to see Wizard, since this musical and story had been redone so many times. We were blown away by the professional quality of the performance. This turned out to be one of the best we have seen at SLT. Many of the performances were outstanding. Dorothy, tin man, straw man and the green Wicked Which of the West and the chorus deserve special mention.

 The rest of the performance was amazing. I enjoyed it as much as some of the Broadway shows we've seen in New Orleans. I just wish Glenda had been cast with acting and singing abilities instead of notoriety.

 This should have been a 5 star review. I did come to the show with an open mind though I have my own spiritual convictions. I genuinely believe that the entire cast was absolutely amazing. They sang beautifully and their performances were spot on. Except for one cast member. Muffy was not the right fit for this play. He did not sing well nor act well. Muffy (a drag queen) overshadowed the other cast members and took away from their amazing talent. #disappointed

 Wizard of Oz was the first musical I was ever in at the age of 12. Seeing the show last night brought me right back to the magic. It was nostalgic, it was whimsical, and it was joyful. I love the diverse, inclusive cast overflowing with talent. Everything from the costumes to the special effects to the choreography to the sweet dog made it obvious this production came straight from the heart. 5-stars to everyone involved!!

 Children’s play with many kids in cast witnessing a drag queen as Glenda good witch and a woman playing a male lion /farm hand. I’m sure there are many appropriate people who can sing and act in those roles available. This theatre has a “in your face message “ anything goes We won’t return

 gestures. However, there was one huge exception. The actor playing Glinda, the good witch was nothing like the movie version. Where's in the movie, Glinda was graceful and giddy, in this production she was more like Ursula in the Little Mermaid. Come to find out, SLT went out of their way to recruit a Houston drag queen to play this part. Poor choice. This doesn't speak well for the political intentions of SLT.

 Oz was a wonderful production! Voices, talent, costuming, and sound were just great! We have wonderfully talented people of all ages in our area! The only negative was that I would have been very upset if I had brought a young child to see a drag queen! I KNOW that there are many talented women in our community! Very disappointing.

How did you like the event?

 Show was good. Dorothy is a great actress. The wicked witch was not her biggest enemy however... some of her solo's the back track was smothering her. probably needs to back down the instrumental in the beginning. The 2nd act was much better balanced on sounds. Glinda's casting did cause some toxic behavior in local facebook groups and in the live audience. I don't particularly care one way or another.

How did you like the event?

 I was greatly disappointed in the casting choice of having a drag queen play the role of Glinda. The appearance of this character was incongruous with the rest of the show. It would be like presenting Fiddler on the Roof and having Tevye perform the entire show in a tuxedo while the rest of the cast was in period costumes. I found it interesting that in the promotional photos from rehearsal Glinda was nowhere to be seen. Additionally there we several sound issues.
