Actor's Playhouse Opens THE WIZ, 4/29-5/1, 5-8
By: Meghan Schuler
Actor's Playhouse opened THE WIZ April 28; performances run through May 8th.
Everyone knows the story of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, but in this new 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. The characters and story line are largely faithful to the 1939 movie version of L. Frank Baum`s 1900 story.
Curtain times April 28- May 7 are at 7:30 p.m., 2:00 p.m. May 1 and 8. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students and seniors 65+.
