The 75th Diamond Youth Theater Season will conclude as we follow Dorothy down the Yellow Brick Road with the musical The Wizard of Oz. This charming musical will feature students ages 6-19 . Based on the book by L. Frank Baum, with Music and Lyrics by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg. Little Dorothy Gale of Kansas dreams of what lies beyond the rainbow. One day a twister hits her farm and carries her away over that rainbow to the land of Oz where she and her pup Toto meet the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Cowardly Lion. Together they learn about friendship, bravery, and ultimately, that There’s No Place Like Home.
The RSC, full version is estimated by Concord Theatricals to be about 2 hours.
