The Wizard of Oz

L. Frank Baum—Harold Arlen—E. Y. Harburg:

The Wizard of Oz

(the RSC version)

Director: László Marton

After a tornado whisks away a young Kansas farm girl, Dorothy, to the magical land of OZ, she starts her quest to find the mighty Wizard of Oz who has the power to send her home. Along the way she meets a Scarecrow, a Tin Woodsman and a Cowardly Lion who help her on her journey.
This version includes many of the songs from the famous MGM musical.

Come join Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Cowardly Lion and Toto as they travel the universe of Dorothy’s imagination.

There are two versions of THE WIZARD OF OZ. The RSC version is a more technically complex production and uses as much of the aura of the film as is possible to create in a modern theatre. It is an adaption for live stage performance, even while it strives to look and sound just like the famous film, in telling the story.
