Got it \\ Singing “Y’all got it,” junior Jamie Gammon portrays the Wiz at dress rehearsal Oct. 9. The musical debuts Oct. 10.
What do you and your character have in common?
I think we both hide behind our accomplishments in order to ignore or justify problems in our lives.
Dream theatre role?
My dream role is Baker’s Wife from Into the Woods. She’s such a versatile role and her character has so many levels and motivations. It’d be really fun to play.
What’s one weird thing most people wouldn’t know about you?
I really don’t like George Lopez for some reason.
If you lived in the world of The Wiz, what character would you want to be best friends with and why?
I would want to be best friends with the Scarecrow because he’s funny and he seems to always be there for his friends.
What does home mean to you?
Home means sacrifice and love and imperfection. It means always being there for each other, loving each other even if you don’t want to.
