Perfect for families, this show is filled with heart and adventure.
The Wizard of Oz is timeless. L. Frank Baum’s beloved story of a young girl’s adventure in a magical land, first published in 1900, has been entertaining audiences for well over a century. MGM’s blockbuster 1939 film adaptation, featuring the remarkable songs of Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg, along with the brilliant instrumental music of Herbert Stothart, elevated the popular novel to even greater heights. The Royal Shakespeare Company adaptation remains very true to the original film and has all the classic lines and songs you’ll recognize.
This production is directed by Hannah Corneau, whose knowledge of all things "Oz" can be traced back to her time as Elphaba in Wicked on Broadway. Her expertise brings a fresh and captivating new perspective to this beloved classic.
