El Otro Oz is described as a bi-lingual musical version of the Wizard of Oz. This New York Times Critic’s Pick by Mando Alvarado, Tommy Newman, and Jaime Lozano, asks you to click your heels together tres veces and take a transformative journey with this salsa, merengue, and Mexican folk-infused musical inspired by The Wizard of Oz. As her fifteenth birthday approaches, Dora, a contemporary Latiné teenager, struggles with her family’s ideas about tradition and dreads her impending quinceañera! But, when Dora gets swept away to a strange new land, she learns how to celebrate her unique rhythm and embrace her cultural identity.
Two performances Tuesday, April 18 at 9:45 and 11:30 am. This performance is part of the Folly Kids Series and is primarily designed for school groups.
