If your family is in need of a visit 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow', the Wizard of Oz at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, with its lively choreography and dazzling special effects, will take you down a yellow-brick journey you're not too soon to forget. The iconic story of Dorothy and her friends swept up audiences in its magic like the craziest of Kansas twisters when it opened this weekend.

The holiday production at Syracuse Stage is always a family favorite to look forward to and this year is no different. Syracuse Stage and the Department of Drama have joined forces with New York City-based 2 Ring Circus to bring a twist on the iconic story of The Wizard of Oz. Cleverly directed by Donna Drake, The Wizard of Oz comes to life with all the familiarity of the 1939 film starring Judy Garland, but with a unique infusion of acrobatic arts into the story and choreography. The end result is truly hypnotizing.
