"Imaginative, colorful...it's a hoot!" LA TIMES
"Delightful, different, and entertaining" The Entertainer
In this vibrant, joyful family-friendly musical comedy we follow a grown-up Dorothy on the quest to return to OZ...
“Delightful fun for kids of all ages!...A new and wacky bunch of buddies!...original songs loaded with positive and meaningful life messages…there is something to be learned here for all…The costumes by Ashley Hayes are terrific! Creative, colorful, and fabulous! This is a great way to spend a weekend afternoon, while exposing the wee ones to the endless joys of live theatre.” Pat Taylor, The Tolucan Times
Based on characters created by L. Frank Baum, the originator of the first fourteen Oz books, DOROTHY'S ADVENTURES IN OZ explores the author's most oft visited themes - love, friendship and family.
“An educating as well as an entertaining experience...an event that all the members of the family can enjoy.” Century City News
Follow the escapades of Dorothy and her companions along the windy road to that mystical place where dreams really do come true and nothing is as it seems...
...along the way, help Dorothy save her family farm, do battle with the vain but glorious Queen Coo-ee-oh, join forces with a vagabond princess who is revolting (although she doesn't look it), meet a magical Patchwork Girl, a Rainbow Maiden and help to set free the King of the Rainbow, face such looming monsters as war, drought and mortgages, learn a great deal about the world around us, and even a little bit about ourselves.
“The actors honestly make you care about what is happening to their characters. After it was over, we were wishing it could go on and on and we could be with Dorothy and the others for a little bit longer.”
