The Wizard of Oz Reviews

Ann. from Bristol,

THE WIZARD OF OZ

I wonder who these people are, who have to meddle with and 'reimagine ' all-time classics, and insert things which were never there in the first place. Whoever you are, please go home and 'reimagine ' your own iconic film masterpieces, if indeed you have any, and leave ours alone. A waste of an afternoon, I almost left in the interval. But the Ruby slippers were beautiful, and the cowardly lion was excellent, just like the one in the film. I'll check very carefully before booking any future events at the Hippodrome. I also had to move seats because of noise disturbance from the row in front.This is one of my favourite films, and you ruined it. You know what they say, "go woke, go broke."

WIZARD OF OZ

Story lost in a gimmicky over loud performance. So much talent wasted. It was more rocky horror show meets panto. There for opening night a few around us did not return for the second half of the performance.

CHEAP & ANNOYING

I walked out after half an hour, it is terrible. This seems to have been upscaled from a secondary school production judging by the 'set' (mainly a back projection) and synthesiser music. Very loud, shouty and awful. The classic songs are mangled, don't expect anything uplifting. Even the Munchkins are weird, including full size old bald men wearing party hats. So strange.

LACK LUSTRE LET DOWN

Oh my what a let down, Si-Fi meets panto. Where in the story did Dorothy ever go to the poppy hotel with the cast standing around with red lampshades on their heads. Come on we pay enough for the tickets give us a show with a decent set and props and a producer who doesn't want to change a classic in to a chaotic senseless mess

WORST SHOW EVER

How could you get this so wrong! Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, it did! Very much an amateur production then a West End show. Dorothy was played with no character or passion. The production was 1950's steampunk mixed in with the TV show the Jets! When Glenda the witch came on stage in a scooter I noped out of there! It was like the local high school had put on a production and the drama teacher got a bit too creative! I could go on and go about awful this show was. Please don't waste your money!

WIZARD OF OZ

I was really looking forward to watching one of my all time favourites but was sadly very disappointed from the start as it was nothing like what I expected, I was that disappointed I very nearly didn’t come back in to watch the rest after half time but thought we’ll the tickets cost me enough so continued but as I expected it didn’t get any better,the only actor that deserved a round of applause was The Lion who was played by Jason Manford. I wish I had read these reviews first and I certainly wouldn’t have wasted my time and money to come and watch it.

DREADFUL

Four of us went to see this on Saturday and all of us decided to leVe at the interval including our 9 year old. Too loud, too cinematic, Ashley Banjo can dance but can't sing and Dorothy was completely miscast. She looks too old for the role and doesnt have any wistfulness in her voice when singing Over The Rainbow. She is undoubtedly talented but this is the wrong role for her. One of the worst shows I've seen in a long time and I go to the London theatre regularly. Save your money and go and see Crazy for you instead whoch was fabulous.
