Casa Manana's Wizard of Oz





Today we took in a live-action stage version of the famed 1939 Baum classic with Casa Manana's production. This version comes complete with all the singing and dancing, little people talking about roads of yellow brick and Dorothy, of course. Casa Manana knows how to put on a show and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is still likely to make you cry. We'll all want to chime in with the Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Man and wishes to only have a... Venture off to see The Wizard.

The actor portraying the Lion absolutely nailed the mannerisms of his on-screen counterpart. The show had wonderful pyrotronics and visual effects. Casa Manana usually takes some odd twist on there stories, but on The Wizard of Oz the director stayed true to the traditional story and it was fabulous! I love the fun twists, but this is one of those stories that could not be improved on in any way!
