Hazel Elementary School Broadway Class Presents "Wicked Potter"

WEST ORANGE, NJ - Students in Hazel Elementary School's Broadway Class wowed their audience on April 10 with a special performance of Wicked Potter.

Wicked Potter is a mashup combining elements of the musical Wicked and the Harry Potter book series. Instead of the action taking place in Oz, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the setting for Elphaba and Glinda's adventures.

"What a night to remember!" gushed principal Joel Castillo.

"The Hazel Gymnasium was transformed into a spellbinding stage as our amazing Hazel Broadway Class wowed the audience with their unforgettable production of Wicked Potter," he said.

"Our talented students poured their hearts into every scene—delivering lines with confidence, dancing with energy, and showcasing the incredible creativity they've nurtured over weeks of hard work and rehearsal. Their passion lit up the stage, and the support from our Hazel families and staff made the night even more special," he explained.

"A huge thank you to everyone who came out to cheer them on. Your presence meant the world to our performers, and together, we created a truly magical evening for our community. Bravo, Hazel Broadway Class—you stole the show," Castillo concluded.
