Step into a world of wonder and imagination with The Wizard of Oz: Youth Edition, a charming and family friendly adaptation of the beloved musical. This condensed, one-act version brings to life all the magic and heart of L. Frank Baum’s classic tale while making it accessible and engaging for all!
​
Follow Dorothy Gale, a spirited young girl from Kansas, as she is swept away by a tornado to the fantastical Land of Oz. Along the way, she meets a delightful cast of characters: the brain-seeking Scarecrow, the kind-hearted Tin Man in search of a heart, and the lovable Cowardly Lion who longs for courage. Together, they travel down the Yellow Brick Road to seek the help of the mysterious and powerful Wizard of Oz. Along their journey, they must outwit the Wicked Witch of the West, discover their inner strength, and learn the timeless lesson that “there’s no place like home.”
Featuring favourite songs such as “Over the Rainbow,” “Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead,” and “Follow the Yellow Brick Road,” this magical musical adventure celebrates friendship, bravery, and the power of believing in yourself.
