“The production’s Dorothy, Hannah Roberts, is a star on the rise. She embodies the character’s youth and naivety in a charming, guileless manner, a complete turn-around from her delightfully dour portrayal of Wednesday Addams in last year’s Summer Stock Austin production of ‘The Addams Family’.” Austin Arts

“After every performance, when the cast greets the crowd, Roberts finds herself surrounded by enthusiastic young fans who wrap their arms around her blue-and-white dress and say they want to be just like her when they grow up.” The Austin Statesmen

“Before intermission, Roberts and the Cowardly Lion (Kirk Kelso) wound up carrying handheld mics for a few scenes until their mic packs could get fixed, and that sounds like a critique but it's honestly impressive that Roberts, a pre-professional actor, could manage her lines, her microphone, and a live dog in a basket with such aplomb. The Zilker production of The Wizard of Oz offers some family-friendly escapism, with familiar and pleasant songs. With spectacle and enthusiasm, the show presents what will be a fun evening of nostalgia for many.” The Austin Chronicle

“The cast is uniformly good. In all, THE WIZARD OF OZ is a fun evening of entertainment suitable for the whole family” Broadway World Austin
