"Ease on down the road" to the City Playhouse...

City Youth Players (the brilliant theatre company that put on ANNIE WARBUCKS, HONK!, A CHORUS LINE, and FOOTLOOSE) is producing THE WIZ at the Vaughn City Playhouse from November 30 to December 3, 2006.

From the CYP Web site:

Revisit the land of Oz in this Soulful '70s Musical Extravaganza!

Adapted from "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz"
by L. Frank Baum
Book by William F. Brown
Music and Lyrics by Charlie Smalls

Winner of seven Tony Awards, including "Best Musical"

My daughter Myrna is in this production and she's been telling me all sorts of cool things that they are doing in this show -- for example, the dance from "Thriller" -- I can't wait to see it!

Tickets are only $22 for adults and $19 for seniors/kids.

Showtimes:
Thursday November 30: 7:30pm
Friday December 1: 7:30pm
Saturday December 2: 1:00pm and 7:30pm

If you go to any one of these shows, you'll probably see me there!
