Juliana ADDISON (Wendouree) (16:04): I was blown away by the extraordinary talent and hard work of everyone involved in BLOC Music Theatre’s Wizard of Oz. Congratulations to director Gareth Grainger, musical director Sarah Barlow, choral director Rob Muirhead and choreographers Renee Irwin and Beth Gayon on your stellar show. Well done to Izzy Farrow, who starred as Dorothy, Charlie McGuinness as Scarecrow, Rob Muirhead as Tin Man, Marcus Hovey as Lion and all the cast and crew on outstanding performances. It was so wonderful for BLOC to be back performing at Ballarat’s iconic Her Majesty’s Theatre following its restoration, supported by the Victorian Labor government with $10 million in funding.
