The Wiz Eases on Down to the Parkview Stage
You’re not in Manhattan anymore; you’re at Parkview High School's presentation of Joel Schumacher’s The Wiz!
Ease on down the yellow brick road to Parkview Arts/Science Magnet High School to experience the “funkified” version of by L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In this phenomenal adventure, Dorothy is whisked away to a mysterious land after trying to save her dog from an approaching tornado. After killing the Wicked Witch of the East upon her arrival, Dorothy heads out to find the Wiz so that he can help her get back to Manhattan. Along the way, Dorothy meets characters such as the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion.
Though the storyline is basically the same as The Wizard of Oz, the music has more of a gospel & soul feel. Composed by Charlie Smalls, the musical numbers include; The Feeling We Once Had, He’s The Wizard, Soon as I Get Home, Ease on Down the Road, I’m A Mean Ole Lion, Be A Lion, So You Wanted To See The Wizard, Everybody Rejoice, and If You Believe.
Parkview will be presenting The Wiz on April 10th & 11th at 7:30pm & April 12th at 3:00pm at Parkview’s Metcalf Auditorium. A special student matinee performance will take place April 10th at 9:30am for groups of 10 or more but reservations are required. Visit www.parkviewtheatre.com for more information or to make a reservation.
Tickets for the public performances will be available at the theatre box office one hour prior to curtain and will be $7 for students & $10 for adults. Parkview is located at 2501 John Barrow Road in Little Rock.
