Review
7 March 2019we're off to see the wizard
View ReviewI went to the Weston Auditorium, University of Hertfordshire on Monday 4th of March 2019. This is a production showcasing the Stanborough School of Dance and their talented young people.
The evening was an entertaining walk along the yellow brick road interpreted by dance and music. The scenery was colourful with large bold backdrops. The clever use of the technical lighting all added into the experience bringing the story of 0z to life.
