Step aside, yellow brick road – there’s a brand-new journey to Oz, and Melbourne families won’t want to miss it.
From the producers behind some of Australia’s most spectacular live events comes Oz: The Cirque Experience – a dazzling fusion of circus, theatre, and music that reimagines the classic Wizard of Oz story like you’ve never seen it before.
For a strictly limited season at the Alex Theatre, St Kilda, this high-energy spectacular is already winning rave reviews from families across Victoria.
What to Expect
Forget the old tale you know – this is Oz with a modern twist. Think jaw-dropping aerial stunts, mind-bending illusions, vibrant costumes, and powerhouse vocal performances.
With a mix of circus, theatre, comedy and music, this family-friendly adventure promises to sweep audiences “somewhere over the rainbow” and beyond.
Audiences will meet Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tinman and Lion, but not as you remember them – each character has been reimagined and brought to life by a world-class cast of performers including:
Elena Atanasovski (Footloose: The Musical) as Dorothy
Dan Price (Cirque Du Soleil, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) as Tinman
Bede Nash (Circus Oz) as Scarecrow
Louis Green as Lion
Jonathan Nash-Daly as the enigmatic Wizard
Add to that dazzling illusions from Luke Blaze, wicked mischief from Jordan Twigg as the Wicked Witch, and a supporting ensemble of outstanding Australian talent – and you’ve got a show that’s pure magic from start to finish.
Whether you’re after thrills, laughs, or simply a spectacular family day (or night) out, Oz: The Cirque Experience is the must-see Melbourne show of the season.
