4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting version done by a London Cast, December 1, 1998

By A Customer

Well, if you are looking for a British version of this musical -- this CD is the answer. This CD covers the highlights of the Wizard of Oz sung by a fantastic cast from LONDON. Don't expect to hear the original Broadway, but still a good show.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Recording of this Timeless Classic, May 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Wizard Of Oz (1988 London Cast) (Audio CD)

The London Cast of "The Wizard of Oz" was naturally wonderful! It includes extra verses in "If I Only Had A Brain/A Heart/The Nerve", "The Merry Old Land of Oz", and "Over the Rainbow". The sound was so clear I couldn't believe it! I recommend this album to any other Wizard of Oz fans!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wizard of Oz (Highlights from the Londan Cast), August 24, 2001

By	"dak543" (babylon, new york United States) - See all my reviews

This was a great cd, but I wouldn't get it. The reason I say that is because there is another cd of the Londan cast out but with all the songs on it, like the twister, the winkies, ding dong the witch is dead and more. Not just the highlights.It is called (The Wizard of Oz- the Londan cast recording) It isn't avalable yet on Amazon.com but it is in the stores. Why waist your money on this cd when you can get the same one with more songs on it instead.
