afternoon people - reading the posts I wasn't sure if I was in the wrong place
I haven't been on here in months but I went to see the show last night so thought I'd pop in with my observations.
It was nothing like I expected it to be - which was weird cos I didn't realise I had any expectations.
The effects are amazing (though perhaps a little too heavily relied on in places for live theatre.)
The witches were great - loved the bit when WWW came down from the ceiling! - and the monkeys too - all quite reminiscent of Wicked - in a good way.
It's a shame that the score isn't as strong as Wicked's (though I really liked the new songs)
I absolutely loved the Tin Man and the other main characters were great too.
I thought the second act was better than the first but obviously they had more freedom in that act to do things differently.
I didn't like the dog - too unpredictable and took away from the show (IMHO) though Danielle handled it well.
Danielle herself was fabulous, definitely the best thing in it for me - vocally she was flawless but as usual her acting was amazing - she made me LOL over and over again. It's difficult to believe this is her first role.
