Following over 2500 performances internationally, The Wizard of Oz Show arrives on a Queensland Tour of 22 venues these June/July school holidays. Kids can rap with the Tinman, roar like a Lion, wake up sleepy Shakey the Scarecrow and dance with Dorothy in this interactive, new version of the worlds best loved fairy tale.
Billed as one of Australia’s top children’s shows, this is no sit-down-and-watch affair – the kids are invited to get involved in these adventures down the Yellow Brick Road and can even come dressed as their favourite Oz characters. Live action is mixed with cartoons on screen, intelligent lighting and catchy tunes!
Honoured as a special invitee to the world’s largest Oz Festival in America, the show drew much praise from Oz 'royalty' present. Hollywood celebrity Robert Baum, great grandson of Oz author Frank Baum, said: 'If great grandfather was alive, I’m sure he would be clapping, singing along and smiling with your show!' !
As part of the "Body, Mind & Soul Market Day," I will be at The Tanks for book signing and book sales. Come and have a chat whether you have already bought the book or not. Find out about the next book "The Music of the Soul." This event is free for everyone, and is a great day at the gardens with the family.
The Body, Mind & Soul Market Day is an annual favourite, bringing local natural practitioners, therapists, spiritual and energy healers, health and new age suppliers together for a day of inspiration and information at Tanks Arts Centre.
Enjoy massage and new age healing, browse the stalls for speciality products including individually designed jewellery, crystals, meditation CD’s, books, cushions, clothes, locally made vegan skin care and items of a new interesting nature, plus all the regular art, craft and produce stalls. Great food, brunch or lunch is available all day. Please note: this market day is always popular, so if you can’t find a park on Collins Avenue, try Greenslopes Street and enjoy a beautiful, stress-free walk through Centenary Lakes to Tanks.
