A musical adaptation of L. Frank Baum's classic story, featuring music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg, performed at the 5th Avenue Theatre.
The Wizard of Oz opens at the 5th Avenue Theatre on November 27, 2026, and runs through December 27. It's one of five shows in the venue's 2026/27 season, which also includes A Chorus Line, Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical, Alice in Neverland, and Maybe Happy Ending.
The production is based on L. Frank Baum's original story, with music and lyrics by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg. The background music is by Herbert Stothart, and the dance and vocal arrangements are by Peter Howard. This particular version was adapted by John Kane for the Royal Shakespeare Company, and it draws on the classic motion picture. The production is staged as a tribute to the original story that has filled generations with wonder and imagination.

It's a month-long run, so you've got plenty of dates to choose from between the opening on November 27 and the closing on December 27. One practical thing to keep in mind: children under 4, including babes-in-arms, will not be admitted. If you're planning a family outing, that's the one detail to double-check before you book.
