The Wiz That Was

Things have been so crazy busy the past month and a half that I haven’t had a chance to post anything. But this afternoon The Wiz closed after its run of 13 performances, so I’m going to get everything updated!

The Wiz is one of the most popular shows of all time, and our Bridgeport-themed production at Playhouse on the Green was no exception. Our sales and attendance for this show surpassed even last fall’s The Rocky Horror Show! Of course, having a cast of 31 didn’t hurt ;)
