The greatest family musical of all time, THE WIZARD OF OZ twists its way onstage March 3 - 4 for two amazing performances at 7:30pm at The Whiting in Flint. NETworks Presentations presents a spectacular celebration of the iconic 1939 MGM film, blowing you away from the moment the tornado touches down and transports you to the wonderful Land of Oz. Don't miss the chance to travel Over the Rainbow and experience this national treasure on stage.

To order tickets to this spectacular performance simply visit TheWhitng.com, call (810) 237-7333 or (800) 8-CENTER, or visit the Ticket Center located at 1241 E. Kearsley St. just off I-475 between the University of Michigan Flint and Mott Community College. Both performances will be ASL interpreted.

This magical production, based on the Royal Shakespeare Company's celebration of the 1939 MGM movie, is presented with breathtaking special effects that will sweep audiences away, from the moment the tornado twists its way into Kansas.

Director Nigel West, choreographer Leigh Constantine and set and costume designer Tim McQuillen-Wright utilize the glamour and elegance of art deco Hollywood as the visually stunning technicolor backdrop for the WIZARD OF OZ. Dorothy, Toto and their friends the Cowardly Lion, Tin Man and Scarecrow are transported "Over the Rainbow" to adventures in Munchkin Land, the Haunted Forest, and the Emerald City.

Featuring the classic songs by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg, "Over the Rainbow", "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" and "Merry Old Land of Oz", along with the beloved characters, THE WIZARD OF OZ will have the entire family captivated as they travel down the yellow brick road for an unforgettable evening of family fun.
