What I liked

Brilliantly Imaginative Costumes and Brilliantly Imaginative Makeup! Wonderful!

What I didn't like

Poor House Management—-a late start, and an auditorium SO dark that the audience was scrambling and groping their way to the hard-to-find seats!

My overall impression

A Visual Feast!—-Superbly realized Costumes (by Etoile?) and Makeup, set against a full-screen electronically animated Oz—-plus the chance to take photos afterward! Pricey, but worth the cost and the trek to the fringes of the Fringe fest, over the border into WeHo! Alas, the 53-minute show itself isn’t quite as wonderful, though each of Our Favorite Characters gets a solo say—-sometimes contradicting what we remember from Our Favorite Movie. A wonderful workout for the imagination!
