DESCRIPTION: We’re off to see THE WIZARD OF OZ at The Carnegie! Add a little fantasy and adventure to those gray January days with a trip to the Emerald City to see Dorothy, Toto and the rest of the colorful residents of Oz. Imaginatively reproduced for The Carnegie stage with set design by celebrated local artist Pam Kravetz, and impeccable accompaniment by The Kentucky Symphony Orchestra. This classic tale is sure to delight fans both old and young.
Based on the hit MGM film, THE WIZARD OF OZ brings out the child in all of us with songs like “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” and “We’re Off to See the Wizard.” THE WIZARD OF OZ will be a lightly staged production reminiscent of The Carnegie’s sold-out staging of THE SOUND OF MUSIC presented in 2014.
THE WIZARD OF OZ is presented by Molly & Michael Prues
Program Sponsored by Paula & Glenn Wienkoop
Music Presented by Alice Sparks
Set Sponsored by Graydon Head
Characters Sponsored by Chick-Fil-A Florence and Sally & Sandy Thomson
What does “lightly staged” mean? In a lightly staged production, music and storytelling take priority over the more physical aspects of the show. Audiences will see musicians onstage, beautiful costumes, evocative lighting, and creative settings. They will not see scripts in-hand, a multitude of props, or extensive scenic/costume changes.
