LVS ‘The Wiz’… A performance of brains, heart and courage

LVS’s theatre came alive due to the magical performance of The Wiz based on the book by Frank L. Baum. On offer was a brilliant musical, acting and lighting from a really young cast. With all of the actors aged between 9 and 14 years old, this was a performance to truly remember.

The actors were excellent during the performance, with Dorothy (Izzy Cox) being on stage in every single scene. Alongside her was the Lion (Ethan Farrell) being extremely funny throughout the whole performance, “Oh Mama, aint no body gonna want those.” With the scatty Scarecrow (William Thompson) who had no brains, he was thoughtful in what he said and finally the Tin Man (Harry Thomas) having an amazing singing voice, which I found myself tapping along to.

Dorothy was swept up by a tornado and meets the Tin Man, Scarecrow and the Lion and they follow the yellow brick road on a quest to find the Wizard to grant their wishes……..

From the astounding costumes and choreography, incredible lighting and back stage work from the student crew in every scene, this show was sensational. The packed audiences were obviously delighted by the four fabulous shows, earning all those involved a standing ovation every time.
