This August Dorothy Gale is getting a make-over in true MUMCo style. The Wiz is a much-loved musical that is very different in style to the traditional L. Frank Baum original American fairytale ‘The Wizard of Oz’. Dorothy (Jane Nethercote), the little girl from Kansas, is blown by a tornado into Munchkinland in the Land of Oz. She meets the ‘feel good girl’ Addapearle (Laura Koomen) who tells her to follow that infamous yellow brick road. Along the way she meets the Scarecrow (Steven Nicholson), Tinman (Dave Young) and the Cowardly Lion (Matt Bebbington), just as in the original story. Dorothy and friends eventually face the wicked witch Evillene (Katy Roose) and finally get to meet the all-powerful Wizard (Chris Curran)-he holds all their hopes and dreams in his hands, or does he?
The cast of 22 amazing singers and dancers, bring this 70’s rock musical alive under the direction of Matt Lockitt, musical direction of Natalie Calia and choregraphy of Carly Doctor. They take us on an incredible journey that proves you can do anything you want if you just believe in yourself. With music and lyrics by Charlie Smalls, The Wiz takes you on a funky adventure with over 20 vibrant and infectious songs including ‘Ease on Down the Road’ made famous by Diana Ross and Michael Jackson in the film version of the The Wiz.
Following on from MUMCo’s sell out 35th Anniversary concert “We Said We Wouldn’t Look Back… We Lied” and the Guild nominated Little Shop of Horrors, The Wiz is guaranteed to be just as popular and plenty of fun.
