Really hope this comes to London. Loved it on the big night of musicals.

To those who've watched the stream, when did you get the link to watch it? I booked a ticket for this evening last night but I still haven't got any kind of link so I guess it's an hour before, but just wanted to make sure nothing's gone wrong.
Edit: nevermind, checked their Twitter and it's half an hour before. Hate when they leave it so late to send the link for stuff like this, always makes me so paranoid.

Am watching this stream now and can’t say I’m loving it - I know the show quite well having done it a couple of times and am a huge fan of the NBC Wiz Live recording from a few years ago. For me, the choreo is great and I like the concept but the execution isn’t there for me - the weird mix of accents (particularly Dorothy being RP with her dialogue still maintaining the African American dialect) makes the whole thing seem a bit to amateurish for my taste. The vocals are also lacking somewhat although I do wonder how much is down to the audio mixing for the stream which is a bit all over the place. I’m hoping it’s one of those things that you need to be in the space for - after all, if I wanted a filmed production of the Wiz I should probably stick with the NBC one - you can’t beat the voices of Amber Riley and Queen Latifah! (Probably comes across better due to budget and being designed for filming no doubt).

Caught the stream this evening and just wanted to say how much I liked the set! It’s not a musical I know much about, but I really enjoyed it!
