Toni Rembe Theatre’s OZ

Experience the enchantment and wonder of "The Wizard of Oz" brought to life in a dazzling musical production at Toni Rembe Theatre. This beloved classic, based on the timeless book by L. Frank Baum, is a feast for the senses with music and lyrics by Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg, accompanied by background music composed by Herbert Stothart.

Under the masterful direction and choreography of Sam Pinkleton, the talented cast takes center stage, delivering sensational performances that will leave you spellbound. Chanel Tilghman shines as Dorothy Gale, capturing the essence of this iconic character with grace and charm. Alongside her are the incredibly talented El Beh as Uncle Henry, Oz Guard, and Coroner, showcasing their versatility by also playing the cello, and Darryl V. Jones as the endearing Tin Man and Hickory.

On some days, Katrina Lauren McGraw mesmerizes as Glinda and Aunt 'Em, while Danny Scheie brings the Scarecrow and Hunk to life with his impeccable comedic timing. Cathleen Ridley roars onto the stage as the Lion and Zeke, captivating the audience with their powerful presence. The wickedness of the Wicked Witch of the West and Miss Gulch is expertly portrayed by Courtney Walsh, leaving a chilling impression.

The supporting cast, including Ezra Reeves, Travis Santell Rowland, Ada Westfall, and Beth Wilmurth, add depth and vibrancy to the production, each displaying their immense talent and contributing to the seamless storytelling. The ensemble, led by Rowland as the dance captain, showcases their remarkable skills, creating visually stunning dance numbers that will leave you breathless.

The creative team behind this extraordinary production has left no detail untouched. The scenic and costume designs by David Zinn transport the audience into the magical land of Oz, while Stacey DeRosier's lighting design adds depth and nuance to each scene. Ursula Kwong-Brown and Danny Erdberg masterfully create a captivating soundscape that immerses the audience in the world of Oz. Swings also include Angel Adedokun, Keiko Shimosato Carreiro, Kunal Prasad, and Ryan Patrick (RP) Welsh.

Special mention must be made of Ada Westfall, who not only provides additional orchestrations but also serves as the music supervisor and assistant music director. Their expertise ensures that the music and melodies resonate beautifully throughout the performance. The dedication and talent of David Moschler as the music director and Leigh Robson-Davis as the associate director further elevate the production to new heights.

Furthermore, the inclusivity and diversity of this production deserve praise. The decision to include LGBTQI actors and actresses in key roles, such as the Wicked Witch, Lion, Tin Man, and Scarecrow, demonstrates a commitment to embracing and celebrating all identities. By making traditionally binary roles gender-fluid, the production opens its arms to the queer, trans, and non-binary community, fostering a more accepting and inclusive theatrical experience.

“The Wizard of Oz" at Toni Rembe Theatre is a triumphant musical spectacle that will captivate audiences of all ages. With its exceptional cast, imaginative staging, and breathtaking performances, this production is a testament to the enduring magic of one of the world's most beloved stories.

This recent incarnation of “The Wizard of Oz” will have you transported into a truly enchanting experience with the mesmerizing production of "Wizard of Oz" at the American Conservatory Theatre's Toni Rembe Theatre in San Francisco. This adaptation offers a fresh twist on the beloved classic, captivating audiences of all ages with its unique approach and inclusive casting.

One of the standout features of this production is its scaled-down cast, which creates an intimate atmosphere and allows for a more immersive experience. What sets this rendition apart is the innovative use of common children's toys and party props, transforming the stage into a familiar and magical world that resonates with everyone. From the twister mat to pompoms, an inflatable dinosaur, functional children toy cars and oversized toy houses and even a typewriter. The contemporary adaptation was also improv’d and developed with children in mind. Not naughty but there are some jokes for the older crowds but as the younger peeps say these days… iykyk!

"The Wizard of Oz" tells the captivating story of Dorothy Gale, a young girl from Kansas, who is swept away by a tornado to the enchanting land of Oz. In her quest to return home, she embarks on a remarkable journey accompanied by her loyal dog, Toto, and meets extraordinary characters along the way.

Dorothy befriends the Scarecrow, who desires a brain, the Tin Man, who longs for a heart, and the Cowardly Lion, who seeks courage. Together, they navigate the treacherous Yellow Brick Road in search of the mysterious Wizard of Oz, hoping he will grant their wishes. Along their path, they encounter challenges and confront the Wicked Witch of the West, who relentlessly pursues Dorothy and her companions.

Throughout the adventure, Dorothy learns the importance of friendship, self-belief, and the true meaning of home. With the help of Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, Dorothy discovers that the power to return home lies within herself all along.

"The Wizard of Oz" is a timeless tale that reminds us of the power of dreams, the strength of human connections, and the boundless possibilities that await us when we embark on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery and courage.

Ozma! The dress is too big and I could easily have fixed that in about 5 minutes but decided not to bother. Very pleased with the flower crown, which was the whole point of this, and the Magic Belt. Already have a handful of Dorothy costumes, so I think I’d like to do Polychrome next. #sewing #halloween #ozma #oz #lfrankbaum #ozmaofoz https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjg3M1wOjfz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✨The Emerald City of Oz✨ . “To be angry once in a while is really good fun, because it makes others so miserable. But to be angry morning, noon and night, as I am, grows monotonous and prevents my gaining any other pleasure in life.” . This is the sixth book in the Wizard of Oz series and follows Dorothy and her aunt and uncle in the land of Oz. . I have a lot of thoughts about this installment in the Oz series. I won’t bore you with them all here but I’ll probably include them all in my next “recent reads” blog post. I will say that there were definitely some funny moments in this story, the Whimsies and the Nome King specifically made me laugh out loud. This book is very focused on good vs. evil as there is a war looming on the horizon. Baum’s narrative structure in this story flipped back and forth between the Nome King and Dorothy and I was excited to see how these plot lines came together but they just… didn’t really. The ending felt a little cheap. I also think the VERY end of the book had some anti-immigrant rhetoric and I was a bit confused? I don’t want to spoil anything but it was strange. Baum made the ending seem like this is the last book in the series but clearly there’s at least eight more to go so I’m interested to see what’s going to happen next. . #thewizardofoz #lfrankbaum #oz #childrensliterature #bookreview #bookrecommendations #bookblogger #bookblog #bookishcommunity #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookishlovegroup #bookishlove #readersofinstagram #reader #books #book #bookworm #bookish #booknerd #instabook #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #read #booklove #booksbooksbooks #instabooks #igreads #bookcommunity (at Wilmington, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLFDMd1gafe/?igshid=w3jz9m6xfzs1
