Charlotte Observer story

In celebration of our 60th season, Children’s Theatre of Charlotte takes audiences over the rainbow with the magic and excitement of The Wizard of Oz. Adapted from the original novel by L. Frank Baum, this popular stage version features the beloved music and lyrics of the classic motion picture. Follow Dorothy Gale, the Scarecrow, a tender-hearted Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion as they travel down the Yellow Brick Road seeking the help of the mysterious Wizard of Oz. Their journey will find them facing the
powerful Wicked Witch of the West, and the friends will learn they must look inside themselves to find the things they seek. They also learn, of course, that there’s no place like home.
For ages 5 and up.

Creative Loafing (FULL REVIEW)

"All-in-all, a fantastic production worthy of L. Frank Baum’s classic book ... perhaps the most beloved story in American youth literature."
- Rob Hopper, San Diego Playbill
