THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF US
Pictured: Zamba as Dorothy; Me as Brainless Go-Go Dancer; & Chorines, Alexis del Lago & Little Arthur. Also in company were Paul Ambrose as the Wicked Witch, Jackie Curtis as the Spirit of the Theater, Steven Sterns, and a few others I don’t recall or possibly never knew. Curtis put together the cast.
OUR FIRST SHOW WAS FREE AND PRESENTED IN JACKIE CURTIS’ LOFT ON
2nd & 10th ON MAY OF ‘72. ZAMBA WAS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT AND I WAS VERY INSPIRED BY THEM SO WE HAD A LOT OF GLITTER AND TINSEL, BUT ONLY SO MUCH. CURTIS SAW TO THAT. SHE WAS A SERIOUS QUEEN.
It was such a hit we extended the week-end 2 night run to 4 nights. On the 3rd, David Lukas, our piano player, didn’t show up so we asked for a volunteer from the audience. That’s how we met Minette who taught us the musical hits of the ‘20s, ‘30s & ’40s.
