Wizard of Oz review 4/2/14
Length of production
I think the length of the production could have be longer, so they could display a
better image of the story for the people buying the tickets especially the older
audience.
Music used
They used lots of songs that I liked. For example - What does the fox say, Harlem
shake, Gangnam style and many more popular and up to date songs. These were used in a
very clever way to get the idea and mood of the story across.
Actors
I think the actors were really good because once the lights go back on they get
dressed really quick and my favourite actor was the lion.
Props
The props they used looked real, like the broom stick, oil can the backgrounds the
heart, the courage necklace –triple star- and the stick that held the scare crow up.
Costumes
The costumes they had looked ok but some looked really silly like the elf and the
Wizard of Oz costume.
Storyline
I really like the storyline because of all the action and excitement in this story
Age appropriate
This play would be for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th class.
I give this play a 6/10

Wizard of Oz review 4/2/14
The length of production was about an hour and a half, which just right as any longer
and the audience (6-12years) would have lost attention. The music they used were
popular songs like What Does The Fox Say? Gangnam style and many more. The
characters were a girl called Dorothy, a Lion, Tin Man, a Scarecrow, a Kind Witch, a
Wizard and a mean witch. The costumes were good. Dorothy wore a skirt with blue
stripes and a white shirt. Tin man wore a big grey suit with a cone shaped head. The lion
wore a lion costume with sharp claws. The scarecrow wore a scarecrow suit with hay for
the hands and a brown hat. The witch wore a dark black hat with dark black clothes.
The farmer wore a brown hat with a blue top and yellowish trousers the same with the
other farmer. The dancing was the best part of the show. It must have been as it
caught my attention. The singing was also a good part of it as it made the production
more interactive. The sound effects were really good, they were used all of the time.
The play is suitable for any class, I think (1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th) and up you would have
good fun watching it. The best thing about the play is that it only cost 1 euro cost to
attend. My rating of this play is 10/10.

The Wizard of Oz Review 4-2-14
I went to see the Wizard of Oz on Tuesday 4-2-14 in the Mullingar Arts Centre. It
lasted for an hour and a half. The music was up to date. The songs used were Gangnam
style, what does the fox say? And lots of other popular up to date pop songs. The
actors were good in the roles they played. The actors played lots of different roles. It
was suitable for age’s four to seven. The props were not very good because you could
clearly see that the dog Toto was fake. The back round was good as well as that they
did changed it very quickly and professionally. The costumes were really good and well
presented. The makeup used was really good especially on the scarecrow. The Tin Man
face was brilliantly painted with silver paint to make tin man appearance. I think the
price charged was worth it. I would score the production at six out of ten.
By Gianluca.
Today at nine thirty we left school to watch a play in the art centre. The play was
called the wizard of Oz. There was only four actors but each actor/ actress played two
or three people except for the main actress because she was in most of the scenes.
They had lots of different costumes. Each actor/actress had to sing at least three
songs. The story was about a girl who lived in a farm with lots of animals. But one day
there was a storm that brought the girl to another world. Now she has to find a way
home and on the way she finds lots of friends and enemies. The girl had a pet dog that
she really loved. They didn’t use a real dog in the play. I don’t think it was for our age
but it was still a good play. I would give this play 7/10.
The length of the production was good. So was the music they used, although I did not
like the lyrics they changed and I thought that the actors could not sing very well. The
sound effects they used were alright, but not very good.
The actors weren’t great and there wasn’t enough of them to cover all of the parts. I
thought it was terrible the way a character would just disappear so that another
character could come along. The acting wasn’t great. The dancing was absolutely
terrible. They were either jumping up and down or falling over. The singing wasn’t great
either. The actors didn’t have the best voices for singing.
The props were fairly good and the backgrounds were pretty good.
The costumes were okay, but not that good.
The play wasn’t great and I think it was appropriate for junior infants.
I think it was barely worth the euro it cost.
The story line wasn’t very good and I would rate it 1/10

Wizard of Oz review 4/2/14
We went to the Art Centre today. I was sitting at the back. From the back I could see
the play really well. The play was really nice. The main person was DOHERDY she was a
really good character. There was a lot of music involved. I did not like the One
Direction songs but my favourite song was LETS DO THE HARLEM SHAKE AND WHAT
DOES THE FOX SAY. The characters were DOHERDY, the LION the SCARE CROWE
and a ROBOT. They were all good but the funny one was the SCARE CROWE. There
costumes were really good. But I think the age is from junior infants to 2nd class. The
age would be from three to nine. The movie was not expensive all of our school paid 1
euro each. The characters are really good singers. The back round was really nice. All
of the songs were famous. I really enjoyed it. It was one of the best movies in the ART
CENTER. I would give the movie a score which is eight out of ten

WIZARD OF OZ REVIEW
Today I went to the art centre with my class to watch The Wizard of Oz. I liked some
of it. My favourite is the middle of it when the lion comes out he said who would like to
fight me that was the best thick from the play. There was four or five people in the
play. There was some cool songs in it. The funny bit was when the scarecrow came out it
was funny when the scarecrow falls a lot of times and the tin man was cool is well I did
like the mean witch. The end was good is well. In the play there was the scarecrow, tin
man ,lion and Dohdrty.

WIZARD OF OZ REVIEW
LENGTH OF PRODUCTION
The Wizard of OZ was a very good production but it was too short.
MUSIC USED
The music in the production was very suitable.I like most of these songs but the bad
thing was that there was four One Direction songs and that is very bad
ACTORS/ACTING AND BACKGROUND/PROPS
My favourite actor from the play was the scarecrow who was acting excellent.The
background was very good.
COSTUMES, SOUND EFFECTS AND DANCING
I have nothing to say about the costumes. The dancing wasn’t good or bad, I think it
was normal dancing. Sound effects were very good.
STORY LINE
The story wasn’t the same as the storyline in the movie, but if I had to pick which one
was better, I would pick the play over the movie
OVERALL SCORE AND AGE
Even though it was enjoyable and funny and all I think it’s just for senior and junior
infants and the overall score is 8 out of 10
An overview of the review:
LENGTH: The length of the movie was all right it was about an hour and a half.
MUSIC: They played different songs the only song I did not like was ONE DIRECTION.
ACTORS: The actors were good I think they learned there lines well.
PROPS: The props were wonderful and brightly painted.

OVERALLSCORE: 7/1 0

WIZARD OF OZ REVIEW 7/2/2014
MUSIC USED
The music that was used in the play ‘Wizard of Oz’ were songs from popular singers or
bands. The songs suited the action that they were in. However in the play the actors
had to sing a song that was made up by them. Without the songs the play would be less
interesting because there would be only talking.
ACTORS/ACTING
The actors had one, two or even three characters to play. Ever actor had their own roll
to play. For example one woman had four characters to play. The actors acting was very
good. It was as if they were the person they were acting. The actors were acting like
professional actors from Hollywood.
COSTUMES
The costumes they were wearing suited there character. There were lots of costumes
like a witch, a lion and even a scarecrow! The costumes were colourful. They were good
for dancing and fast moving. The story took place long time ago and the costumes
suited that.
Ago Appropriate
The play was good but it would really suit better for children under six years old.
People over 20 years old would not like it. It is good fun for kids because there is
songs, dancing and talking. It is funny in some parts of the story.
Overall Rating
The overall score I will give is 9/10. The character I liked was the scarecrow. I did not
give the play 10/10 because I am 12 years old so it did not interest me a lot.

The show was very long and good. I enjoyed the show toughly. It was good that the actors
were changing to other characters in such a short space of time.
MUSIC USED / SOUND EFFECT
The music they used were very fantastic. My favourite song was gangam styal and they
made the songs in their own way.
