There may be no place like home but there is the great land of Oz..well at least there is on Broadway. Tonight was a magical night, unlike any night in London. I had the experience of seeing the Wizard of Oz on London's Broadway.
Since I was a little girl I have been OBSESSED with the Wizard of Oz. Something about the Wizard of Oz, was always so magical to me. When I say OBSESSED..I mean OBSESSED. From being Dorothy for numerous Halloweens, to having a Wizard of Oz themed Sweet 16..I would say that I'm a pretty big fan.
I have watched the movie a million times, but I never actually seen the play of The Wizard of Oz. I actually was in the play when I was 5 years old as one of the members of the Lullaby League. I still remember it like it was yesterday. I didn't have high expectations for the play seeing that the last time I attended the theatre for a showing of Footloose, I was very disappointed.
Boy oh boy was I pleasantly surprised. The play tonight was out of this world and completely exceeded all of my expectations. I could now say that I have truly experienced the London theatre. Footloose smootloose..Wizard od Oz took the cake..hands down.
Coming from NY it is hard to compare New York's Broadway to London's Broadway. Since I was a kid I went to Broadway with my parents. I've probably seen around 20 Broadway shows, some more than once. Since my cousins were on Broadway in Mama Mia and 42nd Street, I always had an interest in the theatre. I guess I could now say that I can add London Broadway to the top of my list. Wizard of Oz really made and impression and I can NOT wait to see Singing in the Rain tomorrow night! I truly am experiencing the London life!
Cheerio!
