MEDIA QUOTES:
A clutch of future stars of the stage … Lisa Hogg, Zoe Rainey, Packy Lee … the qualities to go right to the top. A great night’s entertainment. Michael Poynor’s imaginative production, Deborah Maguire’s superlative choreography, Stuart Marshall’s clever set.
BELFAST TELEGRAPH
This hit production of the Wizard of Oz. Astounding results. Previous productions have been among the best musicals seen in Belfast in recent years.
NEWSLETTER
Youngsters roared with laughter. Zoe Rainey stands out as a wonderful Dorothy, the clowning of Packy Lee was a joy.
COVENTRY EVENING TELEGRAPH
Impressive Scarecrow and Tin Man with a more than passable Lion … Lisa Hogg: a suitably sinister Wicked Witch and the sexiest row of apple trees imaginable!
BIRMINGHAM EVENING NEWS
Bright and energetic and filled with infectious good humour, performances are astonishingly fine. The huge Alexandra stage is used to its capacity. Here are performances which indicate a total commitment to a wonderful show and are both touching and praiseworthy. The whole evening was a revelation to me.
