What Critics Are Saying About the Show

My daughter and I attended Dorothy in Oz tonight at the amphitheater in Independence KY...Each cast member blew us away, our favorites being Aunt Em and the Tin Man. Their voices were all wonderful. I just wanted them to know that they are so appreciated and what they do truly matters.
— Tionna J.
The kids enjoyed it very much and begged for more performances! TCT always does such a nice job.
