This production, inspired by the classic 1939 MGM film and featuring music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg, offers a full-scale spectacle complete with the cherished songs, unforgettable characters, and magical moments that have made The Wizard of Oz a timeless favorite thanks to the technical designs crafted by Taravella Theatre students.
