If you want to catch a show with fantastic singing, dancing and music, catch The Wiz, on stage at the Civic Theatre until May 21.
Performed by students from Rotorua Boys' High School and Rotorua Girls' High School, the show's music has a mixture of rock, gospel and soul, and is based on the retelling of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
"It was chosen because students relate well to the music which showcases their amazing talents. It has some really funky songs as well as beautiful ballads. The dancing is awesome and we even have gymnasts involved," said musical director Cameron Hay.
The show is being produced by Rotorua Boys' High with up to 50 students from both schools in the cast, band and production crew.
