The long running audience favorite, The Wizard of Oz brings to life Dorothy, a young Kansas farm girl who is whisked away by a tornado to the magical land of OZ. There, she finds herself surrounded by the wonderful people of Oz and is led on her quest to find the mighty Wizard of Oz who has the power to send her home. Along the way she meets a Scarecrow, a Tin Woodsman and a Cowardly Lion who help her on her journey.
The director of the show, Gary Lewis, shares, ”This is a story that most adults have had experience with and the timeless tale of the different characters who have to find the missing pieces in their life makes this show something that relates to both young and old.” He continues, “We are delighted to have the opportunity to bring this stage production to the Burgundy theater. Designed as a premier theatrical space, the Burgundy theater is the ideal location for staging the magical adventure Wizard of OZ.” Filled with characters and songs that are based on the classic movie musical by MGM, this production of Wizard of OZ is one that you don’t want to miss.
