Lost Princess of Oz – a new ballet
August 19, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - August 28, 2022 @ 12:00 am UTC+0
The Axelrod Contemporary Ballet Theater offers the world premier of a new ballet, The Lost Princes of Oz.
L. Frank Baum continues the adventures of Dorothy from Kansas, Glinda the Good Witch, and the Wizard himself as they search for Princess Ozma to recover the magic stolen from Oz. In this fantastical tale, Baum introduces new characters including the Frogman, the Patchwork Girl, the clock man Tik-Tok, and, of course, the talking (singing) hen, played by Reagan Richards of the popular country duo Williams Honor. Gordon Brown, also of Williams Honor, portrays Baum.
This multimedia dance musical from the Axelrod Contemporary Ballet Theater is directed by Gabriel Chajnik with a libretto based on Baum by Shannon Hill and an exciting original score by Chris Becker, whose Appalachian-inspired composition is infused with country fiddles and bluegrass banjoes!
