Florida Theater on Stage Reviews THE WIZARD OF OZ

Bill Hirschman from Florida Theater on Stage reviewed The Wizard of Oz (R. S. C. 1987).

Giancarlo Rodaz has "invigorated such titles [as Shrek last year] with vibrant imagination that, indeed, mesmerizes children but will delight anyone else lucky enough to attend." 

"Rodaz is a kind of Orson Welles"

"Corey Vega ... is hilarious as the wordless Toto, a silent movie sidekick with a rubbery expressive face awash in grimaces, looking askance or terrified or judgmental."

"Giorgio Volpe ... melts selflessly into the ensemble. But as the Wizard, the carnival professor, the Munchkin coroner, the menacing Jitter Bug and especially Nikko the screeching and scrambling flying monkey, Volpe is impossible to ignore."
