Musical 2019
We are very pleased to announce that the Musical for 2019 has been booked and the scripts have been ordered for 'The Wiz' which is The Musical Version of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum.
Move on down the Road! Winner of 7 Tony awards, this beloved Broadway musical sets Dorothy's adventures in the Land of Oz to music in a dazzling, lively mixture of rock, gospel, and soul! This beloved classic musical is one of the most popular selection in the Samuel French Catalog, and is appropriate for theatres at all levels.
Everyone knows the story of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, but in this musical version it's a fantasy for today - mysterious, opulent and fanciful - a dream conjured up by a space-age child with Dorothy's adventures in the Land of Oz set to music in a dazzling, lively mixture of rock, gospel and soul. Adapted into a film version featuring Michael Jackson and Diana Ross.
A letter will be going home in the first week of Term 1 2019 advising parents of the details for auditioning including the audition song. As this musical has quite a large cast, we will be inviting students from the Junior School to audition for group parts such as Winged Monkeys and Emerald City Citizens. All lead parts will require individual auditions which will be outlined in the note home next term.
