Coming Soon

The Marvelous Land of OZ
Based on the story by L. Frank Baum
Adapted for the stage by Tessa Bridal
Join us in The Lilly Theater as we bring you the sequel to "The Wizard of Oz." Set 2 years after the events of the first book, The Marvelous Land of Oz features familiar characters, such as the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman and the Good Witch Glinda, along with a host of new characters—the Woggle Bug, Jack Pumpkinhead, his creator, Tip, and Princess Ozma. When the Scarecrow, now ruler of the Emerald City, is driven out by General Jinjur and her all-girl army, his friends—the Tin Woodsman, Tip, and Jack Pumpkinhead—try to restore peace. A wonderful, continuing adventure of the characters you fell in love with in "The Wizard of Oz." [ Teacher Visit Guide ]
