A dazzling musical based on the L. Frank Baum classic story
This musical is filled with fun and fantasy with a great cast of characters including a real dog.

Engela has produced this show before with an adult cast, and it was a huge hit with both the actors and the audience. In fact it sold out every performance, so purchase your tickets early.
