The Wizard of Oz

I was nervous going in, because I was very disappointed with every aspect of Into the Woods last year. But they really redeemed themselves. I am very proud of every one in the show, they did an awesome job. Of course there were little hitches here an there, but altogether it did not matter.

Lindsay Newton did a good job of capturing the charector of Dorothey. Aaron Wells did an excellant job as Oz/Captain Marvel. Nick Divarco is definatly becoming a stronger actor, proven with the Scarecrow. But the highlight of the show for me was Kris Doss as the Lion. Kris has really come a long way with his acting, and his singing. He really was having fun doing it, and I think it showed through. And even though a couple actors flubbed lines and had to improv, the improve was really funny.

The set was great, and the costumes were really cool (except most I had already seen on the Circa stage.) I loved how the Munchkins looked like extras from Laugh In. The sound of the twister, and the changing of Aaron Well's voice was awesome.

My only few problems with the show was the pit,(they sounded like they only rehearsed once), some people didn't do the best with the high notes, and it really didn't seem like Tyler Mootz was playing the Tin Man, but playing "Tyler Mootz dressed as Tin Man." If he would have been more stiff it would of helped out alot.

Altogether though I really enjoyed the show and am very proud of everyone who was in it.
