The Marvelous Land of Oz
As a family musical, The Marvelous Land of Oz is geared to entertain adults as well as children. New American Folk Theatre and Treehouse have redesigned the experience to include a meet and greet with the cast after the show. After the two-act performance, the cast invites kids to take a peek behind the curtain and see how the magic works. Audiences will have the opportunity to see how the different styles of puppets come to life and will have the opportunity to take pictures with the cast. Families are encouraged to dress up as their favorite Oz characters too! Pizza will be available for kids to enjoy before the show as well as other snacks at the theatre's concession area.

After escaping from Mombi, a witch who has held him captive since birth, Tip is joined by Jack Pumpkinhead, a talking Saw-Horse and old favorites, the Scarecrow and Tin Man. Along the way, Tip meets General Jinjur and her all-girl Army of Revolt, who take over the Emerald City and remove the Scarecrow from his throne. Magic spells and strange characters make up this tale of true identity and self worth from L. Frank Baum's beloved Oz series.

Written in Chicago in 1905, The Marvelous Land of Oz was a huge success as a novel and was later adapted as a stage production that premiered at Chicago's Garrick Theatre. It was later produced as a short silent film in L. Frank Baum's Fairylogue and Radio Plays; a "multi-media" traveling production produced by Chicago's Selig-Polyscope film studio utilizing live actors, glass slides, hand-colored silent film and even Baum, himself, as the narrator.

New American Folk Theatre and Treehouse are pleased to present this original adaptation with book and music by Anthony Whitaker. The Marvelous Land of Oz is an experience for the whole family to enjoy.
