About the Show:

After a huge storm hits Stowmarket, Dorothy finds herself transported back to the magical land of Oz, with only her trusty talking chicken, Billina, for company. But all is not well. The yellow brick road has been smashed and the Emerald City lies in ruins. The Gnome King now sits on the throne and he happens to be wearing a rather fabulous pair of slippers. Dorothy will meet new friends along the way who help her to overcome the Gnome King and restore hope to the people of Oz.

Following the success of last year’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Mike Akers, we return to the Emerald City with Dorothy, Back in Oz, based on the second novel in L. Frank Baum’s Oz series, The Marvelous Land of Oz. So whether you have been to Oz a thousand times, or this is your first visit, an epic adventure awaits you.

Join us for this fun, high-energy, family-friendly musical complete with songs, dancing and an evil princess with interchangeable heads!
