Loved it!
Went with friends and we all loved it!

Just brilliant!
I was rapt from the very beginning. Dorothy has a wonderful singing voice and stage presence. Jason Manford was amazing as the cowardly lion and had everyone laughing. We attended the signed performance, where the BSL interpreter was absolutely brilliant! Jason Manford tried to involve her at times, which was really amusing. Ashley Banjo was very good in my opinion; please remember he is a dancer/choreographer, not a singer. I thought his singing and acting were impressive and he played a convincing part. I would 100% recommend going to see this, as it is fun entertainment for the whole family. ... Read more
