I really enjoyed this show, and the first one. I liked living the experience of being on the stage, I felt like I was at home. Actually, I like the smell of the stage more than the scent of home! In the beginning I was very nervous, I couldn’t think straight, but as soon as I stepped on stage I immediately calmed down and felt much better. I felt like I really was the part I was playing and I liked all the others in the cast.
This show came out great!

For me this experience was unique. Not only did I meet incredible people, but I also learned a lot and I discovered I had a secret talent. Really, if I hadn’t participated in this project I’d have been stuck thinking I was made to be a reporter. My thanks to the people who worked to put this show together, to my colleagues and to the person who had this amazing idea. We hope the audience enjoyed our show as much as we did, and that we made our parents proud.

This show was a joy for me. Everybody: Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, the Wizard all did a wonderful job! We did it together. But I thank Camelia and Iuliana for helping us not to embarrass ourselves.

I liked it a lot even if we were sometimes cross with each other. On the stage I was nervous at first, but after that it felt just like rehearsals. I liked being Scarecrow a lot. I think it was awesome that we got to sing and dance, and even if we got upset, we made up afterwards. I’m sorry it ended so fast.

Well, for me it was a fantastic experience. One in which you have to have a LOOOOT of patience and SELF CONTROL. In principle self control is for transforming your destructive emotions into good ones… it’s hard, but we all did it, and here we all are actors on the stage of the Ion Creangă Theatre. Returning to my opinion about the show, I’d sooner laugh at anything that went wrong. For those backstage – you know that we started the second show on the wrong footing, as for the rest… We shall see, we must think of how we might reveal the secret… I am glad we had a SUUUUUPER NICE audience (and I am very grateful to all of them, and thank them, you can’t imagine how hard the beginning of the play was for us). All in all, I think the play could be performed on Broadway, with us performing on that stage. I can see myself there. But for that, at least half the audience should come and encourage us. That’s about it about the second show. As for the first, it was THE BEST EVER. Maybe it was because we didn’t have music and dancing, which made us extra nervous, but it made us better. Personally, I admit, I was afraid that we would not overcome a certain moment in the play. I started whimpering quietly backstage, next to the other Roxana, and then I manned up and said: “Whether it’ll turn out well or bad, we have to go through with it.”. I was nervous at the first show too, but it wasn’t as bad as with the second one, and I was sure that it would turn out great (and it did)… That’s about it about the show.
