The Wizard of Oz

Young Dorothy Gale is swept away by a tornado from her Kansas farm to the magical land of Oz. Based on the 1939 movie, Dorthy meets a host of whimsical characters: Glenda the Good Witch, The Wicked Witch of the West, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion. To find her way home, she must journey along the Yellow Brick Road to see the mysterious and all-powerful Wizard in Emerald City. Filled with all the familiar songs and story that you know, this production is not your Grandma's Oz. A Modern-day Kansas and a futuristic Oz will funnel in a new audience to the classic story.
