This November, the National Youth Theatre presents The Wizard of Oz, an enchanting musical adapted from the classic MGM screenplay — celebrating its 86th birthday.
Featuring beloved songs from the Oscar®-winning movie score including Somewhere Over the Rainbow, We’re Off to See the Wizard and If I Only Had a Brain, this is the perfect event for the whole family.
Join Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion as they journey through the magical Land of Oz. Encounter talking trees, flying monkeys, Glinda the Good Witch, the wonderful Wizard, and the menacing Wicked Witch of the West — all brought to dazzling life on stage.
With over 250 of Auckland’s most talented young performers this spectacular production promises stunning costumes, thrilling choreography, and moments of pure theatrical magic. It’s a not-to-be-missed musical about family, friendship, and the power of never giving up.
As New Zealand’s largest and longest-running youth theatre organisation, the National Youth Theatre changes lives from the stage — building confidence, creativity and talent while producing world-class productions. This special 20th Anniversary “Little Umbrella” season of The Wizard of Oz is both a celebration and a showcase of the next generation of performers.
