There’s no place like home—especially during the holidays.

Ruby slippers. Flying monkeys. Emerald City dreams. The 5th Avenue Theatre invites you to follow the Yellow Brick Road back to The Wizard of Oz, the original story that has filled generations with wonder and imagination. You’ll be awed at every twist and turn of Dorothy’s journey with unforgettable music, jaw-dropping theatrical magic, as we take you over the rainbow to the Merry Old Land of Oz!

Based on the beloved novel and classic film, this timeless musical bursts with warmth and heart. Celebrate the holidays at The 5th with a joyful reminder of the power of home.

The Wizard of Oz contains some mild violence and references to death, and is generally considered family-friendly. Children under 4, including babes in arms, will not be admitted. Please note that The 5th Avenue Theatre Company’s 2026 production of The Wizard of Oz features extensive special effects throughout the performance, including open flame and pyrotechnics, strobe lighting, loud and sudden noises, and atmospheric effects (fog, haze, smoke, bubbles, and snow).
