- A World Where We Belong
What if beloved story characters Dorothy (from the Wizard of Oz) and Willy Wonka (from Wonka, etc.) found themselves magically transported into the fairytale world of the other - is it a dream, or a new reality? Confused by their new surroundings, familiar musical themes associated with each character are presented in re-imagined ways and woven into other musical selections, as they search for a way to return home. When they finally encounter one another along the way, a new friendship is born and they dream of a wondrous world where they can both belong.
Musical Selections
Reimagined arrangements and themes from Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Arlen), Pure Imagination (Bricusse), A Million Dreams (Pasek/Paul), and What a Wonderful World (Theile/Weiss).
