The Wizard of Oz: Harlem Repertory Theatre, Tato Laveria Theatre, 240 East 123rd St. It would be a pity to miss this captivating rendition of The Wizard of Oz. Every child and adult in the audience was engaged throughout the entire performance. The colorful costumes, simple staging and energetic ensemble create one of the best productions of theatre for young audiences that I have ever seen. Barbyly Noël delivers a graceful Glinda and a powerful Aunt Em. Derrick Montalvo and Dexter Thomas-Payne (Scarecrow and Lion respectively) are invigorating with their energetic and constant movement in contrast to Ben Harburg’s stiff and deliberate Tin Man. They portray relatable caricatures with an energy that encompasses the audience. They are completely in sync with each other on every peak and valley of emotion. The diverse cast of eleven is a cohesive unit of voices and movement. Dan Aran’s various arrangements of the song magically nudge the characters into action. After the first delightfully chilling moment Taylor-Rey Rivera sings “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” the iconic song becomes an anthem that the characters sing to remind themselves of hope, to overcome fear, and to realize their potential for thinking, feeling, and acting. The jazz arrangements call for voices and quality of movement that are not typical of The Wizard of Oz. Photo by Jonathan Slaffĭan Aran’s musical direction shines throughout the piece. Taylor-Rey Rivera (Dorothy), Ben Harburg (Tin Man), Derrick Monytalvo (Scarecrow). Harlem Repertory Theatre, in association with The Yip Harburg Foundation, presents “The Wizard of Oz” at Tato Laviera Theatre, 240 East 123rd Street (at 2nd Ave.), Manhattan. Her journey through Oz has taught her that home isn’t just a place, it is the loving space you create with other people, and with that love, you can accomplish anything. In the end, Dorothy doesn’t just return home, she rebuilds home with her family. On their journey they learn how much brains, heart and courage they have, and Dorothy learns what it means to be home. Seeking their own potential, they travel to Oz to meet with the great Wizard (Daniel Fergus Tamulonis), who tasks them with killing the Wicked Witch of the West (Emily Ramirez). Along the way, she meets Scarecrow (Derrick Montalvo), Tin Man (Ben Harburg) and Lion (Dexter Thomas-Payne). The audience follows Dorothy (Taylor-Rey Rivera) as she runs away from home, crash lands in Oz, and follows the yellow brick road to find her way home. The Wizard of Oz has delighted audiences for decades, and while HRT’s production does the story justice, it also seeks to draw a new message for audiences of all ages. With incredible jazz, an excellent ensemble of actors, colorful costumes, and imaginative staging, Harlem Repertory Theatre in collaboration with The Yip Harburg Foundation create a fresh view on a classic story.
