Dorothy: Locked & Loaded
Join us in a return to Oz by the granddaughter of the famous Dorothy Gale, the heroine of her own story and the naive nemesis of the beautiful green goddess of Gregory Maguire’s Wicked.
Dorothy: Locked & Loaded is a more modern tale, if you will, more adult, more twisted; a two-year multi-author tour de force that will make you forget Kansas ever existed in the first place.
Find out what happens when you return to an Oz that doesn’t sound anything like what your grandmother told you: Dorothy: Locked & Loaded is back!
