THE WIZ - GLA ACADEMY PRODUCTION Tickets

The Wiz is a musical that has enthralled audiences for over 40 years since its debut on Broadway in 1975. The story follows the journey of Dorothy through the magical land of Oz with her unlikely companions, which have been re-imagined in this show as modern urban characters.

Recently, the Global Leadership Academy (GLA) Production staged their own version of The Wiz, featuring a talented cast made up of students from the academy. This production allowed the students to showcase their performing skills and add their unique spin to the classic tale.

The theater offers students endless opportunities to learn, grow, and get involved in creative projects. It provides a platform for them to express themselves, test their limits, and improve their craft. Participating in theater productions helps build confidence, encourages teamwork, and boosts self-esteem.

For students at GLA, taking part in The Wiz was not only a chance to expand their artistic abilities but also to collaborate with fellow students, learning new techniques, and approaches from each other. As a result, they came away feeling more confident and prepared to tackle future theatrical productions.

One of the unique things about theater is that it allows performers to tell stories in ways that other mediums cannot match. In particular, The Wiz uses music and dancing to transport the audience to an imaginary world full of wonder and excitement.

Through rich performances by the cast members, vibrant costumes, and expertly choreographed dance routines, GLA's production of The Wiz took the audience on a fantastic adventure, just as it did during its original run on Broadway and numerous revivals.

As well as providing entertainment and the promotion of artistic development among school-going students, The Wiz has lessons in self-discovery and perseverance. There are important life lessons hidden in the plot of the play which can be carried forward by young people into their lives outside of school.

In conclusion, The Wiz GLA Academy production is not just a form of entertainment but a valuable educational and creative experience for students. It epitomizes the power of theater - to educate, entertain, and inspire people of all ages from different communities. The theatrical experience takes students to places they never imagined existed, gives them an opportunity to develop numerous life skills, and builds lasting memories for everyone involved.
