The show is pure magic.
Choreographer Septime Webre has created a full-length ballet, magically retelling the beloved, classic story. “Oz is infused with Septime’s cleverness and wit,” said Cincinnati Ballet Artistic Director Victoria Morgan. “It’s an act of engineering and ingenuity to re-create some of what we saw in the movie on stage. How are you going to create a tornado on stage? How are you going to show the descent of the house into Oz? He’s accomplished that beautifully. It’s total escapism.”
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the classic film.
The Wizard of Oz is the most-watched movie of all time. It’s this beloved classic that inspired Webre’s full-length ballet version. Watch a preview, courtesy of Kansas City Ballet, here:
