The Wizard of Oz is a musical based on the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, with a book adapted by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jeremy Sams. The musical uses the Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg songs from the film and includes some new songs and additional music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and additional lyrics by Tim Rice.

After previews in the West End from 7 February, the musical opened on 1 March 2011, directed by Jeremy Sams, and closed on 2 September 2012. The original cast included Danielle Hope as Dorothy Gale, Michael Crawford as the Wizard and Hannah Waddingham as the Wicked Witch of the West. Sophie Evans played Dorothy on Tuesday evenings and took over the role full-time in February 2012. The role of Dorothy was cast through the 2010 reality television show Over the Rainbow, in which Hope won and Evans was the runner-up. After a similar Canadian reality TV search show, a Toronto production began in December 2012 and closed in August 2013, and was followed by a North American tour.

This was an unbelievable experience for myself, daughter (age 7) wife and my mother. We were all blown away by this when we went to the paladium in April to see it. This is no way can be compared to wicked unless you just want to find reason to complain about nothing. These is a truly magical experience and took me back to my childhood watching wizard of oz on a saturday afternoon with the family. We also got photo of my daughter with Michael Crawford and Danielle Hope + Autographs :)

This show is amazing and I would certainly recommend it. As a child I always thought that no one could play the part of Dorothy other than Judly Garland, but believe me Danelle is totally amazing. Michael Crawford is brilliant as the Wizard.

A lot of people need to realize that this is not wicked. I love wicked and the wizard of oz, but you just can't compare them to each other. Also, remember that elphie does not exist here. We have the wicked witch of the west. An actually evil woman. The sooner you realize that, the easier it will be to enjoy it!

I have seen this in London. ITS AMAZING

[hippityhop]

I'm playing the Wicked Witch in my hometown's production of this show this summer. (Well, actually, outskirts of town.) I'm so excited!

[phantomchik]

Michael Crawford still looks/is as amazing as he was 25 years ago. I love him and can't wait to see this show!

[alexwardify]

[BeccaLovesWicked]

Michael's voice was amazing - bring me the broomstick was flipping amazing.
Tin Man Scarecrow and Lion were so funny.
Beautifully amazing production. Would see it again :) x

[BeccaLovesWicked]

Been over two months since I saw it. How I wish to see it again x

[ToRiHale]

@alexwardify It's a double dress so the skirt part of the green dress is folded up so the inside of it makes to top part of the blue dress and as she spins she pulls the blue top on the left shoulder so it falls down and the green dress is revealed. Very cleverly done

I WAS JUST TOLD I GOT DOROTHY IN MY DRAMA SO I KEEP LOOKING AT THIS FOR INSPIRATION

[BeccaLovesWicked]

Oh My Gosh!!! It was amazing truly beautiful.

[Livlee]

It´s such an amazing, jolly, lovely show and I had to smile during the whole show!!!
I really didn´t expect that this would be so fantastic, so when I saw the wizard of oz my first time, I had to see it again right away!!
Unfortunately I´m from Austria, so I have to wait to see it a third time:((

[Lammylambe]

@alexwardify she rips the top of the blue dress at the top and it folds down into the skirt part of the green dress, so the blue dress bit is double sided that's what it looks like when in slow motion anyway

[darthvalor]

It's official! I HAVE to see this show!!! :D

[kirstylou]

Saw this on the first Saturday preview back in March and am going again on the 22nd :D Hoping Michael Crawford will be there this time because he was ill when I went last time.

[SSlovebird]

I would love to know if this show will show in New York, and if it will, I'm am going to beg, and I mean B.E.G. BEG, my family to go on vacation there to see it!
