The timeless “Wizard of Oz” story has been
adapted into a dazzling musical filled with Baum's lovable characters.
The story of adventure and friendship is performed with humor, wonderful
voices, and joyous dance, by a cast of 34 talented actors (ages 4 to 61)
and one adorable dog. When a cyclone carries Dorothy and her beloved
dog Toto to the magical Land of Oz, she meets adorable Munchkins and the
beautiful Glinda the Good. Dorothy and Toto begin a journey to the
Emerald City to ask the Wizard of Oz to send her back home. Wearing
the ruby slipper and following the yellow brick road, Dorothy meets the
Scarecrow, Tin Woodsman, and Cowardly Lion who join her on her adventure.
They fall asleep in a field of dancing and singing poppies, get lost in
a dark forest, and meet the magical Wizard of Oz and the Citizens of the
Emerald City. Oz asks her to destroy the Wicked Witch of the West.
On their journey they are captured by the Winged Monkeys, and are taken
to the Witch's Castle. This bright musical is filled with wonderful
songs by Bill Francoeur.
Two-act 90-minute family musical with a 15-minute intermission.
