Wonderful “Wizard”
A big WOW for the Len Radin-produced “Wizard of Oz” show at Drury High School last weekend. “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” has to be one of the gutsiest songs to pull off on any stage, especially due to the purity of Judy Garland’s signature singing it into our memories. Samantha Therrien as Saturday evening’s Dorothy delivered the lovely tone and rounded notes that truly set the stage early for a fine show. Madcap antics by Michael Grogan (as lion) sometimes made me wonder whether we were watching a play or a cartoon. George Spelvin shocked us in a multimedia presentation of Oz himself in the oval screen. Scott Bailey pulled together a group of musicians who delivered the right sounds at the right times and performed exceptionally well together. Too many more high-lights in players and production to fit in this tiny space – hooray to all. I guess when Dr. Radin and the Drury Drama Team put on a show, we should simply go.
