Henrique Feist is in rehearsals for 'O Feiticeiro de Oz | Um Musical Pop', a pop-musical treatment of the Wizard of Oz story. The production premieres this coming Friday, the 16th. It opens at the Auditório do Casino Estoril, a longtime home for musical theatre that pulls audiences from across the Lisbon area. Feist counts among the most recognisable names in Portuguese musical theatre, and his presence puts a familiar face over the title. The pop label suggests the classic material will be reworked with a contemporary sound rather than staged as a straight period piece. Friday's curtain gives the first real look at the staging and the way the performers handle the score. Booking and cast details were not included in the brief announcement.
