From the first notes of the overture performed by Herricks student musicians to the final curtain call of thunderous applause, the Herricks Middle School production of The Wizard of Oz was a rich musical theatre treat that displayed in full color the true breadth of talent that is being developed within the district.
The students sang, danced and acted with perfection as they told the timeless story of a girl from Kansas and her little dog who ended up taking a wonderous journey and meeting some interesting new friends.
The stage crew handled the lights and sound perfectly and the stage design, video projections and costuming were world-class, which helped set the mood and brought the audience along for the ride of their lives.
Herricks School District is proud to congratulate the staff, cast and crew who brought this classic to life with three fantastic shows at the newly renovated Herricks Community Center auditorium.
