This musical will change your perception on 'the wizard of oz' for sure!!! forget the wicked witch of the west, after watching this
musical you will empathize with the wicked witch rather than hate her!!!

this musical opened on broadway in 2003 and i was lucky enough to get free tickets to go see it through the acting academy i was studying at. Not knowing what it was really about or even heard of the original book i decided to go after hearing from my friends it was fab. So off me and my boyfriend went to see this muscial we nothing about.
I was blown over and spellbounded!!!! mind the pun! This truly is magical.

Now the show has come to London and seeing the cast over here i have to be biased and say the original was fantastic! But i don't mean to say the cast here isn't strong as i know the orignal american lead came over here to do the run for a while (she's married to tay diggs!)
The 'good' witch has a touch or should i said a resemblance of reese witherspoons character in 'legally blonde' the suitcases, the suits, the walk and talk!!! Once you realise this and get over it you see the reasons behind such an outwardly confident and 'girly' character. complete opposites with the wicked witch yet not a nicer character deep down athough this is over shadowd by her beauty. I don't want to give any of the plot away for people who have seen it so i'll stop there.

The story is extremely strong, the characters are well thought out and shown fantastically by the actors performing and the singing - well the lead was amazing with a voice that brought goose bumps all over. To add to the terrific performances by the cast the set is astounding. With the mechancs involved it had to be in big theatre's, once this show dies down i don't think it can carry on for years without a large re-think of the set design. the set adds so much to the story and the show, its adds awe, special effects, character and dramatics. its a character of its own.

I would highly recommend this show to anyone, kids and adults alike! if you like wizard of oz you will love this!!! don't miss out on your chance to see it.
