The Wizard of Oz

The musical opens in Kansas where Dorothy lives with her dog, Toto, on her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry's farm. Toto gets in trouble with a mean neighbour, Miss Almira Gulch, when he bites her. Miss Gulch wants to have Toto put down. To save her dog Dorothy decides to run away from home.

Dorothy and Toto encounter Professor Marvel, a kindly fortune teller who, realizing Dorothy has run away, uses his crystal ball to convince her that Aunt Em is ill. Dorothy races home just as a tornado approaches. Locked out of the storm cellar, she seeks safety in the house. She awakens to find the tornado has sent the house spinning into the sky.

Suddenly the house strikes the ground. She and Toto have landed in Munchkinland, part of the Land of Oz. Glinda, the Good Witch of the North and the Munchkins welcome her as their heroine – the house has landed on and killed the Wicked Witch of the East, In the middle of the celebra on, the Wicked Witch of the West arrives to claim her sister's ruby slippers, but Glinda transports them onto Dorothy's feet before the witch can get them. The witch swears revenge on Dorothy for her sister's death. Glinda tells Dorothy to follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald City, where the Wizard of Oz might be able to help her get back home.

On her way, Dorothy meets and befriends a Scarecrow, who wants a brain, a Tin Man, who desires a heart and a Cowardly Lion, who is in need of cour-age The Witch a!empts to stop them reaching the Wizard but they finally reach the Emerald City to see the great Oz, He agrees to grant their wishes when they bring him the Witch of the West's brooms ck but this proves to be a very difficult task to complete……….

Enjoy the show.
