If nothing else, this is certainly the loudest musical I have experienced in a long while.
Cranked up to ear-splitting decibel levels, it is a blitzkrieg of sound and vision.
Rebooted by Andrew Lloyd Webber from the celebrated film into a 1950s retro-futurist world in which The Tin Man (Ashley Banjo) resembles RoboCop, the Wicked Witch of the West (Dianne Pilkington) is a CEO with a private army of Nazi-styled drones and Dorothy (Georgina Onuorah) is a spirited, independent-minded young woman lured into what amounts to a regime change in the land of Oz.
Behind a series of Deco frames the rear wall acts as a screen for dizzying videos depicting twisters, Kansas farmland, the Yellow Brick Road as if we were watching a giant television set.
What it lacks in charm and innocence it more than makes up for in blockbusting, ear-bursting, eye-popping razzamatazz.
So that’s something.
The Wizard of Oz, London Palladium until September 3, Tickets: 0203 925 2998
