Frank Baum’s American fairytale of a Kansas farm girl who travels over the rainbow to discover the magical power of home. In this instance, Prospero Arts has again brought together nationally-recognised artists and up-and-coming local performers to make up its cast in tell of L. Performance-wise, any “The Wizard of Oz” is an ask, especially demanding due to its dual nature of it roles.

And it is in the visually and acoustically spectacular surrounds of the QPAC venue that we again find ourselves for the company’s all-new “The Wizard of Oz – In Concert” play-out of the musical’s familiar scenes, songs and dialogue, but only for an exclusive short Brisbane season, perfectly-timed for the school holidays. With a memorable soundtrack of catchy songs such as ‘We’re Off to See the Wizard’ and ‘Ding Dong the Witch is Dead, “The Wizard of Oz” is a perfect choice for the in-concert format seen in the sensational “Singin’ in the Rain In Concert” that represented local production company Prospero Arts’ inaugural production in the Concert Hall last year.
