Marc Robin's Oz isn't the movie's. It isn't your parents'. It's bigger, it's louder, it's more colorful, and it's just a bit reminiscent of the Diane Paulus PIPPIN.

'What is my purpose in life?' is a question asked by many people as they ponder the reasons for their existence. Finding one's raison d'etre could be the ever-elusive challenge, and should you never discover it, you are in good company. It is an existential question that lingers eternally for people who really want to have a life that matters. Now on stage at The Fisher Theatre is the musical PIPPIN, the tale of existential woe.
