Musical Theatre West (MTW)'s summer production, The Wizard of Oz, is preparing to take a final bow on Sunday, July 23rd. A loving rendition of the classic film, MTW's Broadway-caliber production brings the heartwarming story, powerful vocals, and breathtaking visual effects to life on stage.
Delightfully charming but also now slightly dated, MTW's expectedly family-friendly, colorfully saturated production is indeed a lovely, mostly entertaining stage recreation of the movie classic. But curiously, at times, the show feels subdued and tamed-down, and in dire need of an extra jolt of energy to match the story’s wildly madcap, campy premise.
Take a trip down the yellow brick road and enjoy the spectacle of the summer! Anticipated to be a can't-miss theatrical marvel for the whole family to enjoy, Long Beach's premier theatre company, Musical Theatre West (MTW), will debut its production of The Wizard of Oz this July.
The Encore Musical Theatre Company has announced that renowned Broadway artists John McDaniel and Jessica Grové will take the stage for a one-night-only cabaret performance on June 30th.
