About
You've heard the story of a wicked witch. We tell the stories of everyone else.
Taking an audience suggestion of a new character each night, The Others of Oz crafts a hilarious, heartfelt, brand-new musical live on stage. The backstory of anyone or anything, from the Tin Man to Aunt Em to The Emerald City, is brought to life through sharp comedic instincts, powerhouse vocals, and the magic of moment-by-moment discovery. Accompanied by a live band improvising every note they play, a cast of New York City’s top musical improvisers delivers performances that will take you far over the rainbow and turn this dreary world to color. Because in Oz, everyone—not just one wicked witch—deserves a chance to fly.
