Renowned for their innovative and atmospheric open-air productions, Heartbreak have also developed and outstanding reputation for their exciting and unique adaptations:this new production set in England in the Forties is no exception.

The story that started it all...little English farm girl, Dorothy Gale, a London WWII evacuee and her dog Toto are blown away and end up meeting a very unusual cast of characters - the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion, and together they set out on a dangerous quest to see the Wizard of Oz, each of them seeking what they want most in life.

Making their way along the Yellow Brick road through a series of hair-raising encounters, they arrive at the Emerald City only to be told by the Wizard that they first must kill the Wicked Witch of the West before he will grant their wishes.

Heartbreak's unique interpretation and adaptation of the classic book by L Frank Baum, provides a multi-talented cast to create this wonderful story with live music that guarantees an exceptional evening of family entertainment.
