One of the most beloved films of all time, The Wizard of Oz, can now be seen and heard in a magical new production coming to Geelong this December.

Directed by James Edwards, with vocal direction from Kate Daley and choreography from Jana Kolacz, The Wizard Of Oz follows the story of young Dorothy Gale who is swept away by a tornado from her Kansas farm to the magical land of Oz.
There, she encounters a host of whimsical characters: good witches, bad witches, animals that talk, scarecrows that walk, and things magical to behold. To find her way home, she must journey along the Yellow Brick Road to see the mysterious and powerful Wizard.
Along the way, she makes new friends, but must also brave many dangers. Dorothy must learn an important lesson: there’s no place like home.
Adapted from L. Frank Baum’s fantasy novel for children called “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”, the production will feature all the characters we know and love and the music and lyrics from the 1939 American musical fantasy by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) motion picture score by Harold Arlen and E.Y Harburg, with background music from Herbert Stothart.
GSODA Junior’s production of The Wizard Of Oz will take place from 16-17th December 2022 at David Darling Playhouse at Geelong Grammar. Purchase tickets here.
