WIZARD OF OZ

Right what the flaming hell is going on in OZ ?
The munchkins are not going to be small... they are going to be "different" what does that mean exactly ?...... this makes me think Big BIG changes are afoot ! Why can't they just leave it. If its not broken don't fix ..... The public are expecting the film on stage !

LOL Bring it on.......

ALW did say the new London production would be taking elements from the movie AND the book

---

But aren't Boq, Nessa and Elphia all munchkins and full size?
Im so confused now.

---

yes

'What next a glamorous witch ? '
It is Hannah Waddingham after all

I dont know which would irritate more on stage, a bunch of kids pretending to be munchkins or a bunch of 'little people' squalking away, so I'm fine with the 'normal' size people, im sure they will just dress them like they do in wicked or lord of the rings to make them look out of proportion

Wicked gets away with Boq by saying he's unusually tall for a Munchkin.

ALW is at it again...note how the bastard positions his billing:

ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER'S (in HUGE letters)

new production (in small letters)

THE WIZARD OF OZ (same size as ALW's name)

Nowhere does it state the songs are by Arlen and Harburg! He is trying to imply that this is HIS show. Well it is NOT! Even if he does write a few new songs. Unless he is prepared to write an entirely original score he has no business trying to claim this show all to himself.

He tried to pull this same crap when he opened SOUND OF MUSIC in Toronto.

Where does this untalented scumbag get off trying top pull crap like this? And why are we letting him get away with it??

I don't get the big deal if ALW changes the munchkins height, it's his production, if you dont want to see it, just re-watch the film.

And btw frontrow, his name is MUCH smaller than the title. It states clearly that it's his PRODUCTION, not his show, production. And anyway ALW plans to write new songs (I'm guessing with Tim Rice ^^) and rewrite most of the book so, partly it would be his adaptation of the original novel. Just with some of the film's songs.

Oh and btw, I think Boq's family "married" into height :)
