What a wonderful Wiz it was in Strokestown

Transition Year students at Scoil Mhuire, Strokestown wowed audiences over three nights last week as they brought their musical, ‘The Wiz’ to the stage.
With a vibrant mix of song, creative dance, vibrant costumes, innovative make-up, and clever set design the students brought this 'stormy' storyline to life.
Dorothy, with her friends the lion, the tin-man and the scarecrow in tow, navigated her way along the yellow brick road in search of her return to Kansas.
‘The Wiz’ is a re-imagining of the classic Wizard of Oz and the class of 2026 truly made it their own.
More that 100 students put a huge amount of time and effort into this show.
“The experience of bringing a script to life on stage is one which will stay with the students long after their time in Scoil Mhuire and is a testament to the great experiences and opportunities afforded to them in Transition Year,” said a school spokesperson.
The school thanks all who came to see the show and the many generous sponsors.
Well done to the students and to the production team of Ms McGarry (musical director), producers, Ms Murray, Ms Hackett and Ms McCormack, set designers, choreographers, musicians and the rest of the team who collaborated on this great spectacle.
