On February 26th and 27th, more than 100 students will take to the stage in this year's musical production of Ardscoil na Mara's OZ.
The student-led production has been growing in momentum for weeks now, and Dymphna popped out to get a sneak preview.
What's it all about?
Reeling from her sister's death, Beth suddenly finds herself journeying through a world suspiciously resembling the film The Wizard of Oz. But with the yellow brick road sold to foreign investors after a financial meltdown, the Scarecrow reveling in his ignorant bliss, the Cowardly Lion acting like a paranoid sociopath, and the Tin Man embracing his emotional numbness, Beth wonders what role she plays in this classic story gone awry.
A hilarious and heart-wrenching exploration of grief and perseverance on the road to acceptance, this production includes some of the great music from both The Wizard of Oz and Wicked, as well as a few additional numbers that tell the story of these unforgettable characters.
