Due to unprecedented audience demand, Children’s Theatre of Charlotte is thrilled to add a record-breaking weekend of shows to its sold out run of “The Wizard of Oz”. This spectacular stage version featuring the music and lyrics of the classic motion picture is the opening production of Children’s Theatre’s 60^th anniversary season.

 

The additional two shows mark the first time in the Theatre’s history that a production has extended to a fifth weekend. Public attendance for “The Wizard of Oz” is expected to top 10,000, making this the best attended single production in the Theatre’s history.

 

Critics have also responded enthusiastically. “In this wonderful ‘Wizard of Oz,’ theater lovers of Charlotte, young and old, have found our heart’s desire — like Dorothy — right in our own backyard,” wrote Julie York Coppens in The Charlotte Observer. Creative Loafing’s Perry Tannenbaum added his praise, commenting that “this adaptation of the familiar screen classic still packs plenty of powerful dramatic wallop.”

 

Tickets are available for the following added performances:

 

Saturday, Oct. 27                           1:00 pm - ADDED SHOW!

Sunday, Oct. 28                             2:00 pm - ADDED SHOW!
