New City Nyack Macaroni Kid Review:
My husband and I had the amazing opportunity to see and review The Wizard of Oz at the Westchester Broadway Theatre in Elmsford, NY. We were so excited to see this production. When the show began, we were immediately drawn into the life and story of Dorothy and Toto in Kansas. The acting and singing were impeccable. “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” warmed our hearts and reminded us all of something sweet from our own childhood. We followed Dorothy into the magical land of Oz and found ourselves humming along to “Follow the Yellow Brick Road.” The set designs were remarkable; it brought us from Kansas, through the tornado to the various lands of Oz.
We wholeheartedly recommend this show. This is a perfect musical for the entire family. The show is 90 minutes with an intermission. It is a great introduction to Broadway theater with the delicious meal & dessert right before the show!
Purchase tickets for The Wizard of Oz; let your family share in this classic show and fall in love with the memorable characters – Dorothy, Toto, The Scarecrow, The Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion. The Westchester Broadway Theatre is a fabulous experience – great food, wonderful acting & singing, free parking, and so close to home!
