"EASE ON DOWN THE ROAD!"
Like the classic novel on which it is based, our story begins on the same tumbledown farm in Kansas, and the same tornado sets Dorothy down in Oz. Now, here's where things get a little funky: With a score that spans such genres as rock, gospel, and soul, audiences find themselves "somewhere over the rainbow". Traveling along the yellow brick road, she encounters a hip Scarecrow who wants to join her because he has a feeling he isn't going anywhere; an uptight Tin Man who needs Dorothy's help to hang loose again, and a mama's-boy Lion who has lost faith in the psychiatric help he's been getting from an owl. Together, the four friends face-off against fierce creatures, witch's spells, and a myriad of other obstacles, as they seek help from the "great and powerful" one in the Emerald City.
