The great American fairytale. Told with heart, courage and imagination by one of our own great storytellers, Steven McMahon.

REVIEWS

"McMahon’s positively charming choreography, along with the accomplishment of the cast, costumes, and sets, engaged and entertained the modest but enthusiastic audience."—Laura Vernaci, KCMetropolis.org

"This ballet and production has a lot going for it. It’s perfect for kids (and adults) and the performances were danced beautifully."—Christopher Reilly, Alive Magazine

"Ballet Memphis triumphs with magical version of classic 'Wizard of Oz.' The score, culled from the works of British composers Benjamin Britten, Gustav Holst and Ralph Vaughan Williams, beautifully enhanced the movements of Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow and the Tin Man. But arguably, the eye-catchingly green Wicked Witch of the West stole the show, blending smoldering menace, devil-may-care attitude and a sensuality just subtle enough to play to a family crowd."—Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post Dispatch
