An adventure in a fantastical world of wonder somewhere over the rainbow...
Exactly 70 years on from the iconic MGM film, we retell the much loved tale of Dorothy’s quest to find herself and her way back home.
As a tribute to the magic and originality of this enduring adventure, Windmill’s The Wizard of Oz will be a daring, flamboyant and exhilarating theatrical journey for the whole family. Full of imagination, and invigorated with some surprising twists, this is a celebration of the yellow brick road we all travel to find out just what we’re made of.
A visually spectacular and musically sumptuous explosion, ours is a bold retelling for another Land of Oz in a brand new century.
Warning: This play contains cross-dressing, a (lame) lion and truly wicked witches.
