And the Spring 2023 Swain Musical is….Wanda’s World!
Wanda’s World follows the story of Wanda Butternut, the popular host of the hit TV talk show “Wanda’s World,” where kids call in to get advice from Wanda to solve their problems. Wanda is beautiful, confident and always knows what to say…in her fantasy.
In real life, Wanda is a middle school girl with a big birthmark on her face, who is terrified to deal with the first day of school in a new town. Gradually, with the help of an extraordinary teacher, she overcomes incredible odds and learns to follow her own path.
The Swain Campus will be the premiere production of the 60 minute version of Wanda’s World! The composer/lyricist of the musical, Beth Falcone, will be coming to the Swain Campus to work with the cast on the show! The musical premiered off-Broadway in 2008, and released a cast album in 2019 that can be found on Spotify. It’s full of rock, contemporary musical theatre, R&B, and songs that will leave you dancing in your seat.
We can’t wait for you to join us March 9, 10, and 11. See you at the theatre!
