The musical The Wizard of Oz is based on the children's book by L. Frank Baum, first published around the turn of the 20th century. This version is adapted from Berg Þór Ingólfsson's Icelandic translation and a stage adaptation by John Kane.

A tornado sweeps Dorothy's house to a magical land, and she, along with her dog Toto, wants to return home. She decides to seek help from the Wizard of Oz, and on her journey to him, she meets the brainless Scarecrow, the heartless Tinman, and the cowardly Lion. They all need help, and together, the friends embark on an adventurous journey. The show is both funny and heartwarming, making it a delightful experience for all ages. With magnificent songs and dance, colorful costumes, and enchanting scenery, the audience is transported into the magical world of Oz. The talents and ambitions of the young performers bring the story to life.

The Menntaskólinn á Akureyri Theatre Company has long been known for its ambitious productions. This year, nearly 90 students from the school are involved in the production, whether through acting, dancing, music, marketing, costume and set design, or hair and makeup. Dorothy will rediscover the magic of Oz at Hof in 2025, directed by Egill Andrason.
