The Wiz
This summer, the Middlesex Academy of the Performing Arts will perform the 1975 musical phenomenonThe Wiz, a psychedelic take on the classic The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. Students have worked hard to produce a show that will transport the audience to a groovy and fun-loving era of American history! The music derives from the disco era, with electric guitar riffs and doo-wop background vocals, and choreography from the show emulates favorite dance moves from the 60s and 70s. Thirteen dedicated students from all over Middlesex County will put on a performance that will make you shake your groove thang!
