Oz The Great and the Powerful includes some memorable moments and the cast are top notch, revelling in the hyper-realism of the piece.
A potentially big problem for any little voice is that the production risks being unbalanced by the very thing you likely bought your ticket for in the first place: scene stealing sequences in which a mighty songstress rips forth from a delicate frame. While Jess Robinson delivers on this (and finds space to provide LV with a wry humour) all of this would to naught if there wasn’t a great supporting cast – and, for that matter – plot – to populate the world that Little Voice is so desperately attempting to avoid.
