MCYB brings ‘Wizard of Oz’ to life

Melbourne City Youth BalletThe students of Melbourne City Youth Ballet (MCYB) have been hard at work getting ready to bring The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to life. Premiering in February, the studios at MCYB are buzzing with excitement as finishing touches are put on the brand-new production.

 

The beloved story follows the adventures of Dorothy as she journeys through Oz and meets a Scarecrow, a Tin Man, a Lion and some good (and not so good) witches.

 

According to the company, an incredible amount of work has gone into this new ballet — from choreography, to music, to sets, to costumes. A newly posted rehearsal video shows what has been taking place behind the scenes on Melbourne City Ballet’s social media. 

 

Tickets are on sale now. Performances are scheduled for Saturday, February 23 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, February 24 at 3 p.m. at Clocktower Centre, Moonee Ponds, VIC. For more information, head to www.melbournecityballet.com.au.
