Reviews
“If you visit the theatre only once this year, it simply has be for this merry, magical and quite marvellous musical from Durban’s valuable twosome with the Midas touch - the directing-designing duo of Steven Stead and Greg King… Beautifully presented… this production is the gleaming gem atop a crown of shimmering KickstArt successes.”
Billy Suter, The Mercury
“If you come away from this Wizard without a lift in your heart, you’re dead… When the sparkly emerald curtain finally descended to a standing ovation we sat stunned. Wow!”
Sally Scott, The Daily News
