Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams

The Wizard of Oz is coming to Edmond North High SchoolHere's a wonderful story about a great high school in Edmond , Oklahoma . 

Soon Edmond will see tornados, lions and witches flying through the air of the Edmond North High School .  The dreams of fifty-two local high school students will come true when they star in the Wizard of Oz musical in March.  These energetic students will dance, sing and fly in the upcoming musical.

 The Wizard of Oz has been an iconic American musical fantasy since 1939.  The musical was based on the 1900 children's novel "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." 

Tickets go on sale this week in Edmond , Oklahoma as rehearsals also begin.  Seats and equipment will be rented, totaling $55,000.  The money used to rent the seats and equipment came through the support of the community over a two year period.

The flying effects will be supplied by ZFX in Kentucky and costumes and set design will be rented from a music theater in Wichita .

Chris Castleberry, a choreographer, will teach the students the dances and oversee all practices.  He will also oversee a full orchestra that will be performing for the musical.

Students will set up and maintain all lights and sound.  It's unique and will have mistakes.  Remember, it's live theater.  There will also be over 100 parents participating in the set up of the musical.  Parents will help with ticket sales, publicity, merchandise, concessions, decorations, food, t-shirts and programs.

Performances will be held on March 5th & 6th at 2 p.m. and March 7th at 8 p.m.  Tickets will be $10 for adults and $7 for senior citizens and children under 3. 

It looks like Edmond is not only a great place to live, but also a great place for education and fun.
