Called a “lavish stage production” by the New York Times, “The Wizard of Oz” will be on stage at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 1, at Stephens Auditorium in Ames.

Journey over the rainbow with the beloved characters from Oz in this musical celebration recalling the iconic 1939 MGM film, in which Dorothy, Toto and their friends travel down the Yellow Brick Road to the magical land of Oz. “Over the Rainbow,” “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead” and “If I Only Had a Brain” are among the many classic songs featured in “The Wizard of Oz.” Audience members know will they’re not in Kansas any more the moment the tornado touches down and transports them “Over the Rainbow.”
