Follow the yellow brick road to the Bluestone Theatre for Kyneton Theatre Company’s performance of The Wiz.
This beloved Broadway musical sets Dorothy’s adventures in the Land of Oz to a dazzling, lively mixture of rock, gospel and soul music.
Winner of seven Tony Awards, this classic 70s musical has been reimagined for a modern audience and the fantastic music will have you dancing all night long.
The cast features a few parents performing alongside their children for the first time with children performing as munchkins, dancers, monkeys and other roles.
A talented cast stars Ziyanda Caddy and Emily Dove as Dorothy, Jayden Andrea as Scarecrow, Ben McGill as Lion and AJ Russell as Tinman.
This year’s Kyneton Daffodil and Arts Festival queen Rexine Atkinson will be performing as The Wiz and the whole cast will be appearing in the festival parade.
The show also stars Lucy Watson as Adderperle, Erin Cooke as Evillene, Wilhelmina Brentnall as Glinda, Freya Egberts as Aunt Em and many many more, including lots of fantastic KTC debuts.
It’s a tale based on the story as told by William F Brown, with music and lyrics by Charlie Small, and based on ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ by L. Frank Baum.
The band is also back and better than ever, featuring a range of incredible brass instruments.
The Wiz will be showing at the Bluestone Theatre, Kyneton, from September 29 to October 22: Fridays 7.30pm, Saturdays 1.30pm and 7.30pm, and Sundays 1.30pm. For tickets, visit: trybooking.com/CJLEQ
