Dubai will get a dose of movie magic when fans join Dorothy and her little dog Toto as they journey down the yellow brick road for the spectacular new production of the legendary musical The Wizard of Oz – running for nineteen performances from April 3 to 18 at Madinat Jumeirah.

From the producers behind some of the UAE’s biggest musicals including Oliver! and the award winning The Sound of Music, one of the most famous stories of all time will be brought back to life just in time for the iconic film’s 75th anniversary.

The Wizard of Oz became legend with the Oscar winning 1939 MGM movie version starring Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale, the young farm girl from Kansas who is transported via tornado to the magical Land of Oz. This brilliant musical stage adaptation, originally adapted by the Royal Shakespeare Company, features all the wonderful songs from the movie, including Over the Rainbow, We’re Off to See the Wizard and Follow The Yellow Brick Road.

From the UK and London’s West End the cast includes Elizabeth Carter as Dorothy Gale, Barnaby Thompson as Scarecro and Gavin Ashbarry as the Cowardly Lion. A wonderful ensemble of UAE performers completes the cast.

Tickets to the show are Dhs200 available from www.timeouttickets.com or at the theatre box office.
