Good New! – Steph’s in another show, this one is called “The Wiz” and it’s Wizard of Oz related, featuring our own Steph Fearon singing her kind of music. It’s on at Milton Keynes for one week in September.

“The Wiz” is another adaptation from the well loved musical and film, with the talented students from Songtime Theatre Arts bringing you “The Wiz, the Motown remake of The Wizard of Oz”.

See, Motown again, not so far removed from Smokey Joe’s Cafe

Here’s the blurb on it:

Featuring a fabulous mix of rock, gospel and soul, The Wiz is the winner of 7 Tony Awards and was immortalised on film starring Michael Jackson and Diana Ross.

The Wiz picks up the story of Dorothy and her friends the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man and the Scarecrow as they once more make their way to visit the famous Wizard. This is an outstanding opportunity to see an amateur production for all the family. Be sure to book early for a guaranteed Wiz of a Night!
