Wizard of Oz comes to Kildare theatre
Ballet performance
The Kildare Youth Ballet Company (KYBC) will stage The Wizard of Oz at the Moat Theatre, Naas, on Friday 24 January 24 at 8pm with a matinee at 2pm on Saturday January 25. An evening show (7pm) also takes place on Saturday.
The production captures the tale of a young Kansas girl who dreams of a better life "somewhere over the rainbow" and who is caught in the eye of a cyclone and lands in the fantasy world of Oz.
She meets lots of wonderful characters in Oz from the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, Munchkins, the Wicked Witch and the magical Glinda.
She learns about thinking, feeling and courage and realises that everything she ever wanted, she had at home in Kansas. The Great and Powerful Oz will help her to return home but first she must defeat the Wicked Witch. With the guidance of the Magical Glinda, she returns to Kansas and realises that "there's no place like Home".
