El Otro Oz is a modern updated bilingual version of the Wizard of Oz. Although, of course, this version is not exactly the same as the previous version, it does bear recognizable similarities to the previous version. The most important of these is that the gist of the story involves a young girl who learns to appreciate what she has.
The story is full of colorful characters. The songs are lively and exuberant. Nya Noemi does a great job in the role of Dora (the Dorothy character), She has quite a lovely voice too.
Both the songs and dialogue are a mix of English and Spanish. However, it is easy to understand what is going on no matter which language you speak. All in all, it's a fun show for the whole family.
And that's our view. Tune in Saturday for Still More Theater Saturday.
