Family musical “The Wizard of Oz” now on stage
Join Dorothy, Toto, and their friends for an adventure along the Yellow Brick Road as Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre presents its 2024 Season Family Show: The Wizard of Oz. Now on stage, this production brings the beloved story and songs to life and features a special discount for children’s tickets.
L. Frank Baum’s delightful tale about Kansas farm girl Dorothy Gale’s journey over the rainbow to the magical land of Oz has enchanted families for generations. The stage adaptation includes the famous Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion characters, as well as unforgettable songs from the 1939 MGM film such as “We’re Off To See The Wizard,” “The Merry Old Land of Oz,” “Follow The Yellow Brick Road,” and “Somewhere Over The Rainbow.”

Jaden Kindle makes his Beef & Boards debut as the Tin Man. Ty Stover (Grumpy Old Men, Beauty and the Beast, Hello, Dolly!) plays the title character, and local children play the famous Munchkins.
