Event Navigation

Full length musical. By L. Frank Baum. Music and Lyrics by Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg.

The most beloved tale of all time comes to life on the TCR stage this holiday season! Follow The Scarecrow, The Tinman, The Cowardly Lion, Dorothy… and Toto too, as they meet the Wicked Witch, the Wizard, and more as they find their true hearts’ desires. All of the beloved Oscar-winning songs from the movie are here including “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “We’re Off To See The Wizard.” Enjoy your favorite movie moments, plus a few surprises along the way. Journey over the rainbow with your entire family and discover the wonderful world of Oz again…or for the very first time.

“This is, to come out with it immediately, the most marvellous show.” — Jeremy Kingston, The Times

“‘Iconic’ is an overused word these days, but when you’re talking about The Wizard of Oz, there’s really no other. Brimming with color, Oz seduces and delights.” — Collin Kelley, Atlanta In Town
