There’s no place like home! Prospero Arts are bringing a sensational concert version of The Wizard of Oz home to Brisbane this June, for an exclusive season at QPAC’s Concert Hall.
Be transported ‘over the rainbow’ to a land full of music and colour, and captivated by iconic songs such as “We’re Off to See the Wizard”, “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead”, “If I Only Had a Brain” and of course the Academy Award-winning “Over The Rainbow”.
The Wizard of Oz – In Concert is directed by one of Australia’s most accomplished creative talents Amy Campbell. This all-new production features some of our favourite musical theatre stars, along with a richly memorable musical score performed onstage by Camerata – Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra, under the baton of the incomparable Andrew Worboys.
Since its 1939 premiere, the classic film The Wizard of Oz, starring the legendary Judy Garland, was named the most influential film of all time, and has been adored across generations over the last 85 years.
Don’t miss this timeless story of love, friendship and the quest for happiness in following your dreams, brilliantly reimagined by the team who brought us the exhilarating and fun-filled Singin’ in the Rain – In Concert last November. Five shows only!
