Wizard of OZ Boston through April 24

What a performance! We can’t say enough about this show – we loved it, and the kids were on the edge of their seats with excitement and anticipation. From the costumes to the music we enjoyed it all! Our littlest one is still trying to figure out how they ‘melted’ that wicked witch – lol.

We’re ready to see the show!

Tips for Viewing the Show

• There are lots of visual effects as well as smoke and fire in the performance. If your child is sensitive to sound, sitting a little further back will help them enjoy the experience.
• Booster seats are available at the entrance to the theater – even our 10 year old who is on the smaller size used one – it made the performance all that more enjoyable for her.
• The Wicked Witch does make an appearance close to the audience on the left hand side of the theater (within the first few rows) so just be advised if you are in the area.
• You are not able to take photos or videos during the show and it is suggested that you turn off all electronics.
• During the intermission we had plenty of time to get the kids to the restroom and back comfortably in their seats.
• Food and drinks are allowed in the theater
• There is a parking garage on the same street  as the theater – only feet away from the entrance. This is where we parked – there is also an elevator in the garage.
