Show Synopsis

There is perhaps no other musical as recognizable and beloved as The Wizard of Oz. When Dorothy dreams of a far-off place, a twister carries her to the magical land of Oz, where she accidentally drops a house on a witch, makes enemies with another, enlists the help of a good witch, and, with the help of three newfound friends, seeks the Wizard in the Emerald City to help get her back home.

The Wizard of Oz, with its timeless appeal, continues to resonate with audiences more than 85 years after the film’s début, and over 100 years since the story was first published. KWMP is thrilled to bring this classic story back to our stage this November, where familiar faces and unforgettable moments will come together in one of musical theatre’s most beloved adventures.
