To mark a milestone in its fourth year, the Samsung Performing Arts Theater will host ‘After Oz’, a one-night-only concert headlined by Broadway’s Wicked stars Lissa deGuzman and Allie Trimm
Theatre lovers are invited to the Samsung Performing Arts Theatre this July 10 as it goes beyond the emerald curtain for the “After Oz with Wicked on Broadway’s Lissa deGuzman and Allie Trimm” one-night-only concert. Serving as the theatre’s anniversary offering, the concert explores what happens after the role, after the spotlight and after the curtain falls.
The evening will be led by Lissa deGuzman, known for her Broadway roles in Wicked, Aladdin and King Kong, alongside Allie Trimm, whose Broadway credits include Wicked, Bye Bye Birdie and 13. DeGuzman returns to the local stage following a universally praised turn as Cassie in Theatre Group Asia’s production of A Chorus Line. For this concert, she partners with Trimm to take audiences on a magical journey. They will also be joined by special guest Morissette, dubbed “Asia’s Phoenix”, who is preparing for her own upcoming return to the theatre stage in The Notebook: The Musical.
