The greatest family musical of all time, THE WIZARD OF OZ, is touching down in theaters across the country as NETworks Presentations brings this national treasure to the American stage.

This magical production, based on the Royal Shakespeare Company's celebration of the 1939 MGM movie, is presented with breathtaking special effects that will sweep audiences away, from the moment the tornado twists its way into Kansas.

Director Nigel West, choreographer Leigh Constantine and set and costume designer Tim McQuillen-Wright utilize the glamour and elegance of art deco Hollywood as the visually stunning technicolor backdrop for the WIZARD OF OZ. Dorothy, Toto and their friends the Cowardly Lion, Tin Man and Scarecrow are transported "Over the Rainbow" to adventures in Munchkin Land, the Haunted Forest, and the Emerald City.

Featuring the classic songs by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg, "Over the Rainbow", "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" and "Merry Old Land of Oz", along with the beloved characters, THE WIZARD OF OZ will have the entire family captivated as they travel down the yellow brick road for an unforgettable evening at the theater.
