Speaking of which, the cast is a joy. Opening night featured the 19-year-old Gianna Casale as Dorothy. She dutifully captured the requisite energy of any proper Dorothy. She played the role with the perfect blend of wary anxiety and moral insistence, leading to dynamic chemistry with each of her three travel compatriots. Additionally, she aced the test to which all Dorothys have to adhere: her “Somewhere over the Rainbow,” the Judy Garland staple, was as measured of a performance as it calls to be. She blended the hopeful, yearnful wanting of the character in the moment and made beautiful choices throughout, specifically on the end note.
