Tauranga Musical Theatre is proud to present the Royal Shakespeare Company version of The Wizard of Oz.

Little Dorothy Gale of Kansas, like so many girls her age, often dreams of what may lie over the rainbow. One day a tornado hits her home town and carries her away to Munchkinland - at the end of the rainbow.

The Munchkins fete Dorothy as a heroine. Dorothy wants to go home to Kansas and seeks the help of the kind Sorceress of the North. Only the great Wizard of Oz, says the Sorceress, can help Dorothy get back to Kansas.

Dorothy persuades three friends to accompany her on the trip to the Emerald City to see the Wizard. They are Scarecrow, who lacks a brain, the Tin Woodman, who has no heart, and the Cowardly Lion, who would like to have some courage.

The Wicked Witch of the West vows vengeance on Dorothy and does all she can to stop the friends getting to the Emerald City. But when they reach it they are faced with a seemingly impossible task.

The season will run from the 5 September - 13 September 2008 at Baycourt Theatre. Tickets are available from booking online with Ticket Direct, by phoning Baycourt Ticket Direct on (07) 577 7188 or visiting Baycourt Ticket Direct on Durham Street Tauranga.
