Over the rainbow but not over the top
by mamalouie on 2010-01-05Hamilton Place Theatre - HamiltonLast evening I joined a full house to view this lively show.Many of the young girls in the audience were dressed in Dorothy costumes, complete with little baskets and stuffed dogs. Dorothy captivated everyone's heart with her beautiful voice. The acting was good, as was the music. I found the dancing to be mediocre, with the exception of the Jitterbug number. The special effects and staging were well done, and believable. At many points in the production I could overhear the audience either singing along or saying word for word the dialogue. This is a well known story and a very pleasant evening's entertainment.
