The Wizard of Oz at Circa 21' in Rock Island
2026-09-02 09:00 - 18:30 (America/Chicago)
In this classic movie-come-to-life musical adventure, young Dorothy is swept away by a tornado from her Kansas farm to the magical land of Oz. There,she encounters a host of whimsical characters: good witches, bad witches, animals that talk, scarecrows that walk, and things magical to behold. To find her way home, Dorothy and her friends the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion trot delightfully and tunefully down the yellow brick road in search of the mysterious and all-powerful Wizard in Emerald City. Along the way, she makes new friends, but must also brave many dangers, including the Wicked Witch of the West, who will stop at nothing to get her hands on Dorothy’s magical ruby slippers. To make it home safely, Dorothy must learn an important lesson: there’s no place like home. The show features iconic songs like “Over the Rainbow” and “Follow the Yellow Brick Road,” “We’re Off to See the Wizard,” and “If I Only Had a Brain.” Before the show starts we will be served an elegant plated meal served by the performing wait staff.
