AMERICAN TOUR IN
LAS VEGAS
SEPTEMBER 10
The final 6 weeks of the Canadian production of
THE WIZARD OF OZ are counting down. THE WIZARD OF OZ will play its final
performance in Toronto on Sunday August
18 at the Ed Mirvish Theatre.
THE
WIZARD OF OZ leaves Toronto to embark on an extensive North American Tour
that kicks off on September 10, 2013 at The Smith Center in Las Vegas, NV. The
North American tour includes engagements in key markets including: Las
Vegas, Los Angeles, Seattle, St. Paul, Houston and Philadelphia.
From the first performance
on December 20, 2012, the North American premiere of THE WIZARD OF OZ has been a box office hit! By the time the show concludes its run
in Toronto, over 500,000 people will have been to Oz and back! THE WIZARD OF OZ recently won the 2013 Dora Audience Choice Award and Lisa Horner won the Dora for Best Actress in a Musical for her riveting portrayal of the Wicked Witch of the West.
The North American tour will
feature many of the same talented cast who are currently starring in the
Toronto production including Danielle
Wade as Dorothy, who was chosen by
the Canadian public through CBC TV's ‘Over The Rainbow’, Mike Jackson as
the Tin Man, Lee MacDougall as the Lion, Jamie McKnight as the
Scarecrow and Robin Evan Willis as Glinda.
Developed from the ever
popular MGM screenplay, this new production contains all the beloved Harold
Arlen and E.Y. Harburg songs from the Oscar®-winning movie score,
all the favorite characters and iconic moments, plus a few surprises along the
way, including new songs by Tim Rice and
Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Click your
heels together during the final 6 weeks of performances and join Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion, Dorothy and her little dog Toto,
as they journey through the magical land of Oz to meet the Wizard and obtain
their hearts’ desires. Watch out for the Wicked Witch of the West and her
winged monkeys as you rediscover the real story of Oz in this fantastic musical
treat for all the family.
Costumes are made with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS.
