About This Show

Featuring the oh-so-catchy musical score from the 1939 classic film, this enchanting RSC stage adaptation of THE WIZARD OF OZ sweeps us from the Kansas prairie way up high and over the rainbow. Director John Gibson brings his uniquely personal vision to L. Frank Baum’s fantastic tale about young Dorothy Gale, her dear friends, Professor Marvel and the yellow brick-laden road they travel together to the Land of Oz.
