The Wizard of Oz - Youth Musical | Monticello Theater Association

by L. Frank Baum

Music and Lyrics by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg

Directed by Sherrie Hildreth

This is your opportunity to be transported to place where the formidable gloom of the Wicked Witch of the West is drowned by the overwhelming joy of the Munchkins and Ozians! You have never been to a Wizard of Oz experience like this one, with sprinkles of Western classical music and picturesque flags that unexpectedly draw the audience right into the middle of the action with each arrival into a new imaginary land. Of course, we hope that you’ll sing along with Dorothy and all of her chums as they make their way to the Yellow Brick Road; just make sure you’re on your best behavior as the Winkie Guards will be patrolling the aisles!
