DAYTON- Night after night Tiffany Haas transforms into Glinda the Good Witch. A role she has waited 7 years in the wings to perform. "Playing the role of Glinda is so rewarding I feel like I understand her, "said Haas "Glinda has a journey of perseverance through the entire story. She is proving herself to herself she is proving herself to others find her way in life find her purpose."Haas along with a cast of characters from Wicked have blown into Dayton for a four week run at the Schuster Center.For Haas, an Ohio native this Dayton stop has special meaning. She performed at the opening of the Schuster Center in 2003."It is really cool to be back at the Schuster center. There was a gala the night the center opened. I actually performed out in the lobby it was so exciting it is like full circle."Besides being popular and beautiful there are other perks to being an Upland - traveling by bubble.So since we were in the gem city I asked If I could give it a whirl.With a little convincing the stage crew granted my wish. "As you come down you a have line ...Its good to see me isn't ? " With confidence I responded, " I think I can do that."As I descended on to the stage, I realized the rush Haas gets every night she makes her way on the stage.
