While at the premiere of “The Wizard of Oz” at Sphere, our entertainment reporter Courtney Tezeno caught up with one of the stars of “High School Musical,” where they compared the long-lasting legacy of “Oz” to the musical that put her on the map.
Kaycee Stroh played Martha Cox, who was known to “pop, lock, jam and break” in “High School Musical” said, “We are so grateful for ‘High School Musical’ and that it has become a classic and it just continues on and on. […] I do see it passing on from generation to generation and that is every actor’s dream, to catch lightning in a bottle like that and to have this be a classic forever, so I’m truly grateful.”
Stroh continued to explain her love of the Judy Garland film and how being at this event was a full-circle moment.
“‘The Wizard of Oz’ is actually very near and dear to my heart. Not only did I grow up on ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ but it was the first role I ever played myself.”
She continued, “ I booked the role of Dorothy [] and I was in like the fourth grade and I remember it was this big ‘aha’ moment for me because up until then I was a competitive dancer only and then I was acting and singing at the same time and I went ‘we can do it all at once?! This is the best thing ever!’ and that’s when I really knew this is what I was put on this earth to do.”
She even pitched herself to play Dorothy in Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani’s “Wizard of Oz” series, “How about me being Dorothy?! I want to be plus-sized Dorothy. I’m a little old, it’s alright, but there are so many good options. I’m excited to see who they choose because Blake and Gwen can do no wrong.”
