I was privileged to attend with my wife the recent performance of The Wizard of Oz at Lincoln's Drill Hall. We had gone originally to see my granddaughter Bronwyn appearing in the musical but to say that we were overwhelmed would truly to be understatement. The whole production, from beginning to end, was well done, the costumes, the choreography, the singing absolutely excellent. The four main characters, Dorothy, the Scarecrow, Tin Man and the wonderful Cowardly Lion were superb. In fact the whole cast, without exception, were wonderful.

To see the Tiny Tots taking part and obviously enjoying themselves made the whole evening magical. Full marks also to the producer and all the helpers who devoted their time to this project. They are indeed doing a wonderful job with these young people, especially when one constantly reads about the problems some of our youth seem to experience. Long may this theatre work continue: Lincoln should be proud to have such a talented group putting on these shows. The amount of work involved must be tremendous but the outcome, based on what we saw, is well worth the effort. Well done everyone, it was an evening we will never forget.
