By L. Frank Baum
Adapted by Frank Gabrielson with Music and Lyrics of the MGM motion pictures score by Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg
Directed by Tania Breen
From May 3-5, TNB Senior Musical Theatre (SMT) students will cap off a phenomenal 2011-2012 season and lead audiences down the yellow brick road in a production full of friendship, adventure and a whole lot of heart.
“There’s so much joy in the rehearsal studio. The whole cast is getting very excited,” says Tania Breen, Director of TNB Theatre School. “All of the pieces of the show are coming together including the arrival of our Toto, a little dog named Kiki.”
“This is our most ambitious project to date. We are honouring the traditional story and the familiar images that people know and love from the film but we’re also finding ways of reimagining these so there will be a lot of surprises as well.”
TNB’s 2011-2012 SMT program features 40 students aged 14 to 19. The Wizard of Oz runs May 3-5 at The Playhouse, Thursday – Saturday 7:30 pm. and Saturday 2:00 p.m. Tickets available at The Playhouse box office (506)458-8344, or online at tnb.nb.ca
