What To Know About This Production

This summer, Summer Musical Enterprise invites you to journey somewhere over the rainbow with a bold and beautiful new production of The Wizard of Oz, performed live at the spectacular Moss Arts Center.

Torn from her Kansas farmhouse by a twister, Dorothy Gale finds herself in the dazzling, dangerous land of Oz. Alongside a brainless Scarecrow, a heart-hungry Tin Man, and a Lion in search of courage, she sets off down the Yellow Brick Road to find her way home. But the Wicked Witch has other plans...

Featuring a cast of over 60 talented local performers, breathtaking choreography, and a full live orchestra, this is Oz as you’ve never seen it: vivid, heartfelt, and bursting with theatrical magic. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering it for the first time, this production will remind you why there's truly no place like home.
