Wizard of Oz! Here we go again!



So, I've had an interesting offer come my way this week. I got an offer from Rare productions asking if I'd like to be Professor Marvel/ The Wizard again in the upcoming production of The Wizard of Oz in Welwyn Garden City. The show is in November. 

My approach to it at first was to say No because I thought that I had done a good job with that role the last time I did it and that you shouldn't really revisit roles or shows unless you think the performance you give will be as good or better than the first. However, after having spoken to my family about it, I thought that it may be fun to do, and I wouldn't have to pay a show fee if I said yes and I'd get a few benefits from doing it as well doing Rare productions a favor. 

Looking back on Wizard of Oz there are one or two things about it that I thought I could make it better and now I guess I have the opportunity to learn from my experience and do it again having done the role before. But it was an all-round polished performance from me that I felt satisfied enough to say "yes, I'm really happy with the way that went".  I just hope that I made the right choices for the right reasons.
