Wizard of Oz opens Friday at Lyceum Theatre

From the Marshall Democrat-News:
The Lyceum will open the regular season with "The Wizard of Oz," June 7-16, followed by "Fiddler On The Roof," June 22-30; "Meet Me In St. Louis," July 10-21; "The Nerd," July 27-Aug. 3; "Agatha Christie's A Murder is Announced," Aug. 10-17; "Hank Williams' Lost Highway," Aug. 24-Sept. 1, "Steel Magnolias," Sept. 7-15, and finally "Tuna Does Vegas," Sept. 21-28.

"Of course, part of the charm of the Lyceum is its family atmosphere, fostered by familiar faces returning year after year in a variety of roles," Buckley said. "This year is no different as veterans Dana Snyder, Whit Reichert, Michael McKenzie, Mallory Hawks, Peggy Billo, Daryl Vaughan, Heather Schmidt, Andrea Dotto, and many others return to the Lyceum's stage."

Andrea Dotto, Dana Snyder and Whit Reichert partner up in "The Wizard of Oz" as Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion and the Wizard, respectively.

Audiences will remember Dotto from last season's "The Music Man."

In addition to playing the role of Dorothy, Dotto will also perform in "Fiddler On The Roof" and "Meet Me In St. Louis."

Snyder was last seen on the Lyceum stage in the 2011 season's "Damn Yankees," "The Sound Of Music," "Run For Your Wife" and in 2010 as Max Bialystock in "The Producers."

Snyder's 2013 season at the Lyceum will also include playing Tevye in "Fiddler On The Roof" and Rick Steadman in "The Nerd."
