The Wiz is set to wow

A talented cast has impressed audiences. Pictured are Scarecrow played by Jayden Andrea, Tinman played by AJ Russell, Lion played by Ben McGill, Dorothy played by Emily Dove.

Kyneton Theatre Company’s production of The Wiz opened on September 29 to great crowds and rave reviews. 

This re-imagining of the classic 70s musical is full of a dazzling, lively mix of rock, gospel and soul music that will have you dancing in the aisles. 

The show features several KTC debuts including some brilliant performances from local children. 

Resident Joyce Cassar enjoyed the opening weekend with her husband, brother and sister-in-law, and was impressed by the talented cast. 

“My granddaughter Olivia was in the show and we were so proud that she could be a part of something so spectacular,” she said. 

“The cast was truly amazing. It was a bright, fun and hilarious show. We were thoroughly entertained from start to end. 

“We all had the best time and are still talking about the great local outing we had!” 

Maree from Castlemaine said audience members would be “in for a real treat”. 

“(KTC) has delivered a fun, tight and enjoyable offering,” Maree said. 

“The mix of adult dramatic/musical artists and children’s dance troupe made for a delightful afternoon’s entertainment. 

“The lead performers all delivered strong performances and led the public on a joyful skip along the yellow brick road.” 

There are several performances still to show at Kyneton’s Bluestone Theatre throughout October: Fridays at 7.30pm, Saturdays at 1.30pm and 7.30pm, and Sundays at 1.30pm.
