An all-new theatrical spectacular is set to premiere in Melbourne, reimagining one of the most beloved stories of all time with a dazzling circus-meets-musical twist.
Running from 4 October to 1 November at The Alex Theatre in St Kilda, Oz: The Cirque Experience brings together world-class circus performers and mainstage musical theatre stars for a show that promises breathtaking stunts, soaring vocals and an immersive production that’s perfect for all ages.
Leading the cast is vibrant musical theatre talent Elena Atanasovski (Footloose: The Musical) as Dorothy, alongside internationally acclaimed Dan Price (Cirque Du Soleil, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) as Tinman, and Bede Nash (Circus Oz) as Scarecrow. Jonathan Nash-Daly, a multi-skilled performer who recently hosted at Brisbane’s Pink Flamingo cabaret club, takes on the enigmatic role of the Wizard.
Other standout cast include Luke Blaze as The Illusionist, Jordan Twigg (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, Footloose The Musical) as The Wicked Witch, Hannah Gardiner (Priscilla: The Musical) as Glinda the Good Witch, with Conor Putland (Friends! The Musical Parody), Zoe Rose (Cruel Intentions: The Musical) and Jessica Cannizzaro rounding out the ensemble.
