The Wizard of Oz

A thoroughly enjoyable production with the added pleasure of a real and extremely appealing Toto, a star if I ever saw one, especially when she sniffed out the sausage being cooked by Professor Marvel.

In fact the principal line-up was second to none, most notably Felicity Pringle (Dorothy), Rob Arrowsmith (Lion), David Nayler (Tinman), Oliver Faulkner (Scarecrow), Tony Edwards (Oz Guard), Jenni Boyce (Glinda) and Sheila Clapcott (Wicked Witch) – all absolutely superb.

Technically the show is a huge challenge in the relatively confined space, but it was a challenge conquered by the company

They also conquered Claire Camble-Hutchins’ intricate & highly impressive choreography. The difficult music was, I think, more of a challenge but Lesley Lock is an old hand when it comes to directing and knows how to get the best out of her cast.

This Oz was well worth the visit.
