Review: THE WIZARD OF OZ at Palm Canyon Theatre
by Charlie Thomas - Jul 23, 2026
Some productions feel like comfort food: familiar, warming, and quietly essential. But every so often, a company takes a beloved title and reminds you why it became beloved in the first place—not by chasing novelty for its own sake, but by leaning into craft, clarity, and the strange emotional truth hiding under a story you thought you knew by heart.

Review: THE WIZARD OF OZ at Hale Centre Theatre
by Cheyenne Lewis - May 19, 2026
Nearly 90 years after the film premiered and over 120 years since the novel was published, this great American fairytale is a story to love. This rendition of the musical is great for people both young and old. There’s no place to see THE WIZARD OF OZ like Hale Centre Theatre.

Review: THE WIZ at Bass Concert Hall
by Sabrina Wallace - May 14, 2026

BWW Review: THE WIZARD OF OZ at Kansas City Repertory Theatre
by Andrew Burrill - May 11, 2026
Kansas City Repertory Theatre’s THE WIZARD OF OZ does not attempt to recreate nostalgia in its simplest form. Instead, this production interrogates why the story has endured for generations and reframes it through a distinctly theatrical lens rooted in American folk tradition, musical intimacy, and emotional immediacy.
