If an escape from the everyday pressure of real life is what you’re looking for, then a journey to the Emerald City may be just the ticket you need. Just follow the yellow brick road to the Northshore Performing Arts Center, where you’ll find this year’s Bothell High spring musical production, “The Wiz.”
“The Wiz,” an energetic and soulful musical interpretation of the novel “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” by L. Frank Baum, and made famous by the 1978 film of the same name starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson, is the high school’s final theatrical production of the year.
The musical runs two weekends beginning with 7:30 p.m. performances May 13 and 14. The following weekend offers 7:30 p.m. performances May 19, 20 and 21, plus an American Sign Language-interpreted matinee at 2 p.m. May 21.
