Dates: 14 Nov - 21 Dec 2024
Admission: $35 - $95
If there’s one place in Singapore where freaky things can happen, it’s Yishun. That’s how Dorothy finds herself swept up by a cyclone one day and transported to the magical land of Oz, where the Munchkins live the high life in the East and the Winkies toil and labour in the West under the tyrannical rule of the Wicked Witch.
In this reimagined local version of The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy needs to seek an audience with the mysterious Wizard of Oz to find her way home. Along the way, she gets help from a Hokkien-speaking Scarecrow, a Tin Man with a big axe and even bigger vocabulary, and a sensitive, crochet-loving Lion.
But what dangers lie ahead in this strange world that sometimes reminds Dorothy so much of Singapore? And will brains, heart and courage be enough to get her home?
The Wizard of Oz is fabulous fun for the whole family. Don’t miss this joyous new musical that will send you and your loved ones singing and dancing all the way home!
