Plot Synopsis

This story is a somewhat original concept with an all-black cast, a new rock score, and dialogue that made the fairytale relevant to modern audiences. It is, however, still the same basic story about Dorothy, the little girl from Kansas who is blown by a tornado into Munchkinland in the Land of Oz, meets the Scarecrow, the Tinman, and the Lion on the Yellow Brick Road, defeats the evil witch, and has an audience with the supposedly all powerful Wizard. Though the Wiz is a phony, he does convince Dorothy that she can do anything she wants if she just believes in herself.

And by the way...

The answer to our very most frequently asked question is - NO!!!

The question is: Do you have a minimum order or do we have to rent a whole show?

We believe you should be able to order one hat, two props, an entire show, or anything in between - it's one of your basic theatrical freedoms.
