Featuring the oh-so-catchy musical score from the 1939 classic film, this enchanting RSC stage adaptation of THE WIZARD OF OZ sweeps us from the Kansas prairie way up high and over the rainbow. Director John Gibson brings his uniquely personal vision to L. Frank Baum’s fantastic tale about young Dorothy Gale, her dear friends, Professor Marvel and the yellow brick-laden road they travel together to the Land of Oz. “ … it’s enough to make you click your glitter-dusted ruby slippers far more than three times. And to send you home with a whole lot more smarts, heart and courage.” – WTTW News, Chicago
