2008 Iolani Spring Musical: The Wiz
Iolani School will performing the hit musical The Wiz from February 28 to March 1 at 7:00 p.m at Hawaii Theatre. Tickets are $16 - which includes a $3 theater restoration fee - and can be purchased at Hawaii Theatre. Vouchers for tickets are available at the ‘Iolani performing arts office (call 943-2244).
A modern version of the perennial “Wizard of Oz”, The Wiz was made into a major motion picture (starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson) in the late 70s. The characters and story line are largely faithful to the 1939 movie version of L. Frank Baum’s 1900 story and should make for an entertaining show.
