The Wiz at Interlakes Theatre in Meredith, NH

Last night I had the pleasure of sitting in a very full house at Interlakes Theatre in Meredith, NH for the super-soulful musical, The Wiz. It closes out the summer season this week playing until Sunday August 17^th. Once again the superb Director and Choreographer Kenney M. Green did not disappoint. From the opening overture to the return home this show is delightfully fun. As always there are a few things in every show that catch my eye that I like to mention. Firstly, the choreography performed by the dancers in this show was incredible. From the “Tornado Ballet” complete with black lights to the upbeat “Everybody Rejoice (Brand New Day)” I thoroughly enjoyed every step. Secondly, I have to congratulate the three amazing men behind the Scarecrow (Saidu Sinlah), Tinman (Basit Shittu), and Lion (Darius Nelson). They were a fantastic trio that complimented each other well and kept the audience smiling. Thirdly, I was quite impressed with the sassy Addaperle played by Carla Martinez. Her vocals and dancing shined in “He’s the Wiz”. Lastly and certainly my favorite part of the show was the phenomenal Nasia Thomas who portrayed Dorothy! She brought real life and charisma to the story she was sharing and her voice was brilliant and completely mesmerizing. By the end of closing number “Home” there was not a dry eye in the house. She was certainly the biggest highlight in the show and her performance is not to be missed! Like I said earlier, this show only runs until Sunday August 17^th so get your tickets now to see The Wiz!
