Original London Cast: The Wizard of Oz, CD

The Wizard of Oz has a dramatic pedigree that could hardly be improved upon and yet the astounding production by the Royal Shakespeare Company. Originally opened at the Barbican Theatre to critical reviews which suggested that the show has managed to improve even upon the original. A response that was repeated when the cast of the show brought back the very next year. The show then moved on for a further run at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. The show received four nominations for the Lawrence Olivier Awards. A timeless classic which appeals to adults and children alike, this recording captures the spirit and essence of the show, including previously unreleased material - "The Jitterbug".
