Description

"The Wiz Jr." is a musical adaptation of the timeless classic story "The Wizard of Oz," tailored for younger audiences. It follows the journey of a young girl named Dorothy, who is swept away to the land of Oz after a storm. In Oz, she meets many memorable characters each searching for something special. Together, they embark on an adventure to meet the magical wizard, hoping to get help with achieving their dreams. The production will feature themes of friendship, courage, and self-discovery, making it an engaging experience for children and families of all ages. This performance is filled with dazzling choreography, mesmerizing musical numbers, and a story that will touch your heart!

Oz is a really big place, so to maintain order and peace, there are rulers for each quadrant. The sister witches of the North,  South, East and West. Two of the four became power hungry and wicked.
Meet the Good Witch of the South, better known by her stage name “Addapearle” the feel good girl. She’s not the best at magic, munchkins love her.
Meet ”Glinda” the Good Witch of the North. She comes  and goes by bubble.  She reminds anyone she comes in contact with that they have magic inside of them if they believe.

 

The Royal Guard of the Emerald City Palace is no nonsense. If you come uninvited you are not getting past him. Nobody meets the Wiz unless they have  powerful connections.
