The Wonderful Woman of Oz October 10, 2026
“The Wizard of Oz” like you’ve NEVER experienced it!
TWO SHOWS ONLY IN THE WINDY CITY!
Friday, October 9th: 9:30pm & Saturday, October 10th: 5:30pm
Experience the funniest and most remarkable adaptation of “The Wizard of Oz” that you’ve ever seen. Comedy, improvisation, and sing-a-long portions are the hallmarks of this modernized and loving parody, starring the uniquely-gifted, Emmy-nominated actor Erin Fitzgerald. Erin plays every single character in this two-act show. To make this incredible feat possible, Erin memorized 80 pages of dialogue, created voices and body languages for 27 characters, and established scores of virtual sets in her mind’s eye.
Praise from the Press:
“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. Because in The Wonderful Woman of Oz he’s a woman, and just one of 27 characters that Erin Fitzgerald embodies in her tour-de-force one-woman original staged adaptation of the beloved MGM classic. Bring your inner five-year-old to the theater for this remarkable production.”
— Sarah A. Spitz, The Canyon Chronicle
“Erin Fitzgerald took the audience’s breath away on Saturday night as she reimagined an American classic. Playing every single character from the original archetypal movie version of L. Frank Baum’s children’s novel, The Wizard of Oz, she presents us with a proper tour de force.”
— John Lavitt, The Hollywood Times
