Reviews:
"This is, to come out with it immediately, the most marvellous show. Jeremy Kingston, The Times
Iconic is an overused word these days, but when youre talking about The Wizard of Oz, theres really no otherwhether you mean the 1939 film with Judy Garland, L. Frank Baums book (it came first, you know), or a stage version... this Oz, brimming with color, seduces and delights." Collin Kelley, Atlanta In Town

"Since this classic movie first delighted children and grownups back in 1939, L. Frank Baums glorious fantasy has been a continual favorite. Whether on film, in print or live on stage, as it is at Chicago Shakespeare Theater, this fanciful story, with its inspiring lesson about friendship, is one of the most beloved in childrens literature... Did Yip Harburg and Harold Arlen have any idea of the enduring musical magic theyd created when they composed all those wonderful, infectious songs?" Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review
