Meeting expectations, but in a surprising way.Choreographer Septime Webre talks about his creative process and how he approached telling a story as iconic as The Wizard of Oz. His challenge: to meet very high expectations while bringing something new to the table, something that ballet can do better than the spoken word. In the end, the monumental success of this production is a clear indicator that he not only met that challenge, but exceeded it.NBT's The Wizard of Oz is not your ordinary ballet experience. Over 50 dancers in hundreds of costumes and hundreds of pointe shoes - some made of rubies - will fill the stage, along with puppets, projections, and of course, flying monkeys! This experience will change how you think of ballet as it amazes your senses and fills your heart with joy.Prepare to be swept up in the adventure of a lifetime with NBT's The Wizard of Oz.
