Who does not know of The Wizard of Oz… as a film, as a musical or as a novel – it deals with eternal problems. We have tried to create a new musical… with a new text, new music which speaks to modern people… remaining faithful to the original story, of course. We have a story that talks about friendship, courage, love and, last but not least, about seeking ways and solutions. These might be called clichés; however, I still believe in their value, I believe in the human soul. If we are capable of growing mentally just a little, if we know how to be devoted, to pay attention to one another, if we know how to love without self-interest… then we will save ourselves, our fellow human beings – and we might be useful to society. The performance is for both children and adults; it has humor, great scenes, and many, many songs and dances…
