There’s No Place Like Home.
One of the most enduring stories ever told comes alive on stage in The Wizard of Oz. When a sudden tornado carries young Dorothy Gale far from home to the enchanting land of Oz, she sets out on a journey to find the Wizard who can help her return to Kansas. Along the Yellow Brick Road, Dorothy is joined by three unforgettable companions—a Scarecrow searching for a brain, a Tin Woodsman longing for a heart, and a Cowardly Lion in need of courage. As they travel together, they must outwit the Wicked Witch of the West, who is determined to reclaim the magical slippers now in Dorothy’s possession. Through adventure, friendship, and a little bit of magic, Dorothy discovers that home has been with her all along.
