Roses Young Creatives (RYC) presents The Wizard of Oz: Youth Edition on Sat 12 Jul.

Audiences can follow Dorothy and her loyal dog Toto as they journey down the Yellow Brick Road toward the dazzling Emerald City, hoping the mysterious Wizard can help them find their way home. Along the way, they encounter cheerful Munchkins, mischievous winged monkeys, and the fearsome Wicked Witch of the West.

Dorothy’s adventure is one of friendship, discovery and self-belief, as she teams up with a brainless Scarecrow, a heartless Tin Man, and a timid Lion — each searching for something they think they lack. Together, they uncover courage, love and wisdom in a world brimming with wonder.

“Audiences are in for a whirlwind adventure as RYC’s young performers click their heels and journey down the Yellow Brick Road,” said Georgia Shire, CYP. “From Munchkins to flying monkeys, they’re bringing Oz to life with infectious energy, soaring vocals, and a touch of stage magic — all to prove there’s truly no place like the theatre.”

Rehearsals are already underway, with the young cast diving into vocal sessions and theatre workshops to prepare for what promises to be another unforgettable performance. Packed with creativity, energy and heart, these rising stars are ready to whisk audiences away to the magical Land of Oz.

Founded in late 2023 with just 40 performers, RYC has grown rapidly in terms of both popularity and scale. Now operating at full capacity — with a waitlist of eager young talents, The Roses continues to inspire the next generation of local talent through its dynamic productions and commitment to youth arts.

Expect a performance brimming with energy, charm and theatrical magic as the Roses Young Creatives bring this timeless tale to life. Don’t miss your chance to be swept away by the spirit of Oz!
