View Diamond Head Theatre Profile
 Diamond Head Theatre (DHT) finishes its 2007-2008 season with THE WIZARD OF OZ opening on Friday, July 11, 2008. Based upon the classical motion picture, the DHT production is filled with adorable Munchkins, a fearsome Wicked Witch and a girl who finds there is no place like home.
Little Dorothy Gale of Kansas, like so many girls her age, dreams of what lies over the rainbow. One day a twister hits her farm and carries her and her dog Toto away over the rainbow to another world. Things in Oz are strange and beautiful, but Dorothy just wants to get back home; so she travels to the Emerald City to see a great wizard who may be able to help her. On her way she meets a Scarecrow who needs a brain, a Tin Man who wants a heart, and a Cowardly Lion who desperately needs courage. Memorable songs: “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, “Ding-Dong The Witch Is Dead”, “Munchkinland”, “Off to See the Wizard”, and “If I Only Had a Heart”.
With music and lyrics by Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg with background music by Herbert Stothart, the DHT production is directed by Rob Duval, with choreography by John Rampage, and musical direction by Peter Rucci.
