This groundbreaking production offers a fresh perspective on the Land of Oz, unfolding events that take place before Dorothy’s arrival. It tells the story of a remarkable young woman with emerald-green skin who is intelligent, passionate, and often misunderstood. Her life takes a pivotal turn when she meets an effervescent and popular blonde, leading to an unexpected friendship that ultimately faces the challenges of societal labels, as one is deemed “good” and the other “wicked.”
