Perhaps one of my favorite classic stories follows Dorothy on her journey through the magical land of Oz. There have been a number of film and stage adaptations of the beloved novel written by L. Frank Baum, each unique and enchanting in their own way. But I’m perhaps most intrigued by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s production ,which was completely reconceived for the stage by the creative team that revived The Sound of Music. Featuring timeless classic songs, your favorite characters, and epochal moments, expect a brilliant production with unexpected surprises and new songs from Webber and Tim Rice.
In this brand new production, join Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, and Tin Man as they head over the rainbow, down the yellow brick road and through Oz to meet the Wizard and achieve their hearts desires. This is Baum’s authentic story, brought to life on-stage and an imaginative way for families to experience this classic in a new way.

Are you going to see the show? I’m thinking about taking Kayla when it comes to Tucson this spring.
