About the Show

Harlem Repertory Theatre mounts a one-hour, family-friendly adaptation of the iconic 1939 MGM movie musical about a little girl from Kansas who journeys to the Land of Oz.

When Dorothy wakes up in a strange land filled with witches and wizards, and munchkins and monkeys, she's charmed but desperate to return home. She sets off on a quest to ask the Wizard for help and along the way befriends a scarecrow without a brain, a tin man without a heart, and a cowardly lion. Journey down the yellow brick road while humming along to memorable songs from the Oscar-nominated film, including "Over the Rainbow," "We're Off to See the Wizard," and "If I Only Had a Brain."

Delightful, Cliched

See it if you like fantasy (ex. witches, wizards, talking animals) and cliche happy endings

Don't see it if you don't like fantasy and don't like cliche things

87

Absorbing, Delightful, Enchanting, Entertaining, Great acting

See it if you want to see a mostly family-friendly show, even if it has witches in it. You enjoy magic and loved Wicked.

Don't see it if You are looking for a more adult show. You do not like the impression of flying monkeys. You are looking for more upscale singing

86

Funny, Great singing, Great acting, Great staging

See it if You will love this musical as it will have the nostalgia factor of watching the movie for the first time all over again.

Don't see it if You're not a fan of musicals and weren't a fan of the movie. Or if you're terrified of munchkins and witches.
