“The greatest assets of the show are really classy visuals, in a kind of retro-1940s vibe, that really fit the material. There’s a sepia-toned theatricality to Scott Davis’ setting and the costumes from Theresa Ham are a blend of the familiar and the wittily progressive. The choreography here is by the great Kenny Ingram, and he sure packs a lot of hugely enjoyable (and well-executed) steps into 75 minutes, far more than we have the right to expect, really.”

“What really makes the Land of Oz shake, rattle and roll is the terrific ensemble. Small in number, these dynamos—Kayla Boye, Timothy P. Foszcz, Jared D.M. Grant, Haley Gustafson, Aalon Smith, Lauren Smith, Anthony Sullivan Jr. and Kaleb Van Rijswijck—are constantly in motion, elevating the memorable story with whiz-bang dance numbers, lightning-fast costume changes and scenic transitions that occur in the blink of an eye.”

“ I am here to tell you, this is a slick production with a breakthrough cast of players. The cast members in this production are powerful actors, both principles and the ensemble, who play many roles. The ensemble of players, who are townspeople, munchkins, birds, apple trees, flying monkeys and more are the highly energetic Kayla Boye, Timothy P. Foscz, Haley Gustafson,Aalon Smith, Lauren Smith, Anthony Sullivan Jr. and Kaleb Van Ruswijck. Each and every one of these young talents does a great job.”
