Staged Concert after the book by Lyman Frank Baum
Dorothy has a terrible case of stage fright. On this beautiful stage, of all places, she cannot utter a single note! Surely the famous Wizard of Oz can help. On her way to see him, Dorothy meets a scarecrow without a brain, a lion without courage and a tin man without a heart. Together, they set out on their journey. This timeless tale of courage, friendship and finding one’s own path is presented here as an encouraging piece of musical theatre with puppetry for an audience of all ages.
