KEISTUOLIAI THEATRE | The Yellow Brick Road

A musical performance for children
Inspired by L. Frank Baum’s tale “The Wizard of Oz”

“The Yellow Brick Road” is a production with more than 30 years of history. Its story began with another well-known Keistuoliai Theatre performance, “The Wizard of the Emerald City.” After 11 years on stage and a five-year pause, the performance returned in completely new colours—with a different cast, a new title, yet still featuring unforgettable songs and timeless truths. As many Keistuoliai actors like to repeat: “The most important thing is to see magic in simple things!”

This story begins when a little girl named Dorothy grows tired of everything—home, books, and even her toys. Then a great storm, conjured by the wicked witch Gingema, sweeps her away from her home in Kansas to a distant, mysterious land.

The magical book says:
“The little girl carried to the Land of Wonders by the tornado will be returned home by the Great Wizard of the Emerald City—if she fulfils the deepest wishes of three unusual beings.”

And the path to the Emerald City is the winding Yellow Brick Road—full of surprises and dangers…

If you are curious and brave, unafraid of witches and wizards, join Dorothy on her journey along the Yellow Brick Road “to the City of Dreams where emeralds glisten.” Come see whether the little girl reaches the Emerald City and discover whether Dorothy returns home.

We wish you all bold dreams and beautiful wishes coming true—
“You just need to want it deeply, try hard, and believe.”
