Come discover the original story come-to-life on stage and enjoy the antics of Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, the Wicked Witch, the Munchkins, and more, as they take on their fantastical adventure through Oz. Please note: this one hails back to the original story - which is quite dark and sometimes creepy.
