The Wizard of Oz at UHM Kennedy Theatre

Written by L. Frank Baum
With Music and Lyrics by Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg
Background Music by Herbert Stothart
Dance and Vocal Arrangements by Peter Howard
Orchestration by Larry Wilcox
Adapted by John Kane for the Royal Shakespeare Company

Directed by MFA candidate Jack Romans

While recent tales have reimagined the origins of the witches of Oz, we return to the classic story of Dorthy and Toto. We invite you to join her and her band of whimsical friends that she meets along the way to see The Wizard of Oz. Taking the stage this fall, Oz is a world of upcycling - where audiences of all ages are invited to share in the magic that comes from transforming ordinary things around us into something extraordinary! Rediscover the wonder, music, and nostalgia of the original Yellow Brick Road adventure with singing, children, and trash...oh my!

Recommended for ages +5

Content Advisories: Mild fantasy peril and brief moments of fright, depictions of a witch and magical creatures, stylized fantasy violence.
