The Wizard of Oz

By L. Frank Baum With Music and Lyrics by Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg Background Music by Herbert Stothart Dance and Vocal Arrangements by Peter Howard Orchestration by Larry Wilcox Adapted by John Kane for the Royal Shakespeare Company Based upon the Classic Motion Picture owned by Turner Entertainment Co. and distributed in all media by Warner Bros. There’s No Place Like Home. One of the most enduring stories ever told comes alive on stage in The Wizard of Oz. When a sudden tornado carries young Dorothy Gale far from home to the enchanting land of Oz, she sets out on a journey to find the Wizard who can help her return to Kansas. Along the Yellow Brick Road, Dorothy is joined by three unforgettable companions—a Scarecrow searching for a brain, a Tin Woodsman longing for a heart, and a Cowardly Lion in need of courage. As they travel together, they must outwit the Wicked Witch of the West, who is determined to reclaim the magical slippers now in Dorothy’s possession. Through adventure, friendship, and a little bit of magic, Dorothy discovers that home has been with her all along.
