Ballet Met is bringing back Dorothy and the Price of Oz for the second time ever this February to the historic Ohio Theatre from Feb. 10-12.
The show follows Dorothy as she is summoned by Glinda the Good Witch to help save the Kingdom of Oz. Along the way, Dorothy falls in love with the Prince and as she tries to break a spell cast on him, a battle ensues putting Oz and the Prince in jeopardy.
Oz is in danger! Glinda the Good Witch consults the Book of Knowledge to figure out why. Through the Book’s magic, she travels through memories of the past. The Book shows her the powerful love of Queen Diamond and King Sapphire, strong enough to unite two kingdoms and bring a son into the world. Glinda had once presented that young Prince with an amulet. But as he grew, the King and Queen began to argue, so intensely that the Queen cast a spell over her son to hide him away in her kingdom. Glinda’s memories fade away. She realizes that the only way to save Oz is to reunite the two kingdoms—a task only a certain someone can handle. Mind made up, Glinda sends a Phoenix to Kansas with a special invitation.
