The Wonderfully Wicked World of Oz

In Port Huron, Michigan a company called Enter Stage Right and Girl Scout Michigan Waterways Council are joining the stories of The Wizard of Oz and the more recent follow up tale called “Wicked.”  It is slated as a comedy and a drama that intertwines the dreams of Dorothy and the Elphaba, who is of course the Wicked Witch of the West.  As stated in thetimesherald.com, you can “meet Elphaba before she was branded with that awful, untrue title, and Dorothy, a young girl on her first adventure.  See how the Scarecrow and Tin Man were transformed and discover how Lion became Cowardly.  Glinda learns that beauty is more than great hair and new shoes while evil Wizard is defeated when true friendship saves the day.”

It truly sounds like a production that would be perfect for people of all ages, especially whole families who can enjoy and appreciate a show that blends the stories of old, with the stories of new.  The company itself includes actors that are both Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts who range in age from five years-old to 17 years old.  Be prepared to take a little bit of a different journey down the Yellow Brick Road when you decide to purchase your pair of tickets to see Wicked/Oz.  Don’t forget to first read see the original Oz on film and see the original Wicked in the theater with your pair of Wicked tickets!
