The Yellow Brick Road is officially making its way to Maricopa!
Here at Broadway Maricopa, we believe that summer theater should be nothing short of magical. That is why our cast, crew, and creative teams have been working tirelessly to ensure our upcoming production of The Wizard of Oz is a spectacular experience for the whole family.
Tickets have officially gone on sale, and as opening weekend quickly approaches, we wanted to pull back the curtain and give you a glimpse of the magic happening in the rehearsal room.
A Timeless Story, A Fresh Energy
There is a reason The Wizard of Oz has captivated audiences for generations. It is a story about heart, courage, intellect, and the undeniable truth that there is truly no place like home. As we bring this classic tale to the stage, our directors and cast have been focused on honoring the nostalgia you know and love, while injecting a fresh, vibrant energy into every scene.

Building the World of Oz
Transporting an audience from the sepia-toned, dusty plains of Kansas to the dazzling, full-color world of the Emerald City is no small feat. Our production design team has been working around the clock to create immersive sets and intricate costumes. From the sprawling, colorful world of Munchkinland to the dark, imposing presence of the Wicked Witch, the visual storytelling in this production is designed to leave you breathless.
The Heart of the Show: Our Local Talent
The true magic of this production, however, lies in our community. Over the last few weeks, the rehearsal room has been buzzing with complex choreography, beautiful vocal harmonies, and deep character work. This production features a massive cast of phenomenal local actors, singers, and dancers. Watching them bring iconic characters to life—finding their own unique voices while paying homage to the greats—has been the most rewarding part of this process. (Note: Stay tuned to our blog in the coming weeks, as we will be sitting down with our lead cast members to spotlight their incredible work!)
