Good Points
Scenery, twister scene was fantastic. Munchkins were great, so colourful and lively

Bad Points
Lorna didn't sing but then again neither did the original Gulch/Witch

General Comments
It was delightful to watch. From the moment the curtain came up, I was in another world...great to escape the real one for 2.5 hours! It was SO like the film down to really tiny details. The munckins were fantastic - stole the show with "Ding Dong The Witch is Dead" etc, the kids obviously loved what they were doing and it radiated to the audience. The main characters, scarecrow, lion, tin man were so well cast (although some complain not famous enough!) and Katie as Dorothy was amazing to say that she is only 16 remember. Loran of course was so polished.
