COMMUNITY NOTES

Ignite Theatre presents The Wiz

Ignite Theatre celebrates their 30th production with The Wiz, the glorious seven-time Tony Award-winning musical retelling of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Set in the context of AfricanAmerican culture, with an infectious funky soul score and lyrics, “The Wiz“ brings a refreshing, edgy and extremely relevant update to a timeless classic. Musical numbers include “So You Wanted to Meet the Wizard,” “Everybody Rejoice/A Brand New Day” and the ever popular “Ease on Down the Road.” The 1975 Broadway production won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The musical was an early example of Broadway’s mainstream acceptance of works with an all-black cast. The big-budget film adaptation by the same name released in 1978, starring Michael Jackson, Richard Pryor and Diana Ross, has since become a classic. A live television production of the stage show, The Wiz Live!, was broadcast on NBC on Dec. 3, 2015, with an encore presentation on Dec. 19 of the same year. The cast includes Clarissa DuBose (Dorothy), Lundyn Roybal (Scarecrow), Kuraan Jones (Tinman), Thairone Vigil-Medina (Lion), Shakeya Burkhalter (Aunt Em/Glinda), Keith Jackson (The Wiz), Brittney Caraway (Addaperle), Kenya Fashaw (Evilene) and Mike Lee (Uncle Henry/Gatekeeper). Rounding out the cast are ensemble members Jordan Duran, Brea Harris, Dr. Yvonne Henderson, Susannah Horwitz, Daja McLeod, Danny Moore and Aijiana Zanders. The Wiz will run Jan. 7 to 29 at the Aurora Fox Theatre, 9900 East Colfax Ave. in Aurora. Performances are Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Monday, January 16 at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $28
