OZ WEEK 1

Well the long 2 and a half month journey to get down the yellow brick road is over and the wonderful trip along the exciting path that is THE WIZARD OF OZ has begun. A great start to the 3 week run was 3 sell out houses, if you haven’t made your reservations yet, HURRY as the remaining seats are going FAST!

It has been a genuine pleasure to watch this production come together, even if some of it was at the last minute.

The talented cast is bringing their characters to life, the tech crew is a”wiz” at changing the many scenes, the orchestra is sounding wonderful, and the front of the house staff is working the large crowds with ease.

While the many challenges of rehearsing a 101 member cast, and a live dog have been , well .. challenging it has turned out to be the great classic American all time favorite musical it was intended to be.

Lizzie, Jeff, Tim, Brant, Mary Jo, Candi, Scott, Steve and so many others have put everything they have into making this a joy to watch.

Despite a Tornado Warning 20 minutes before the opening night curtain and the best laid plans to house Munchkins, Poppies and Snowflakes in a tent adjacent to the theatre that had to be changed at the last minute, everyone including parents, kids, newbies, veteran actors, and the full house of eager patrons handled the crisis in great form.
