This is the first time The Wizard of Oz will be performed for audiences at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House since its world premiere in 2019. That performance was sold out.

"Colorado Ballet is thrilled to bring The Wizard of Oz back to Denver this season," stated Artistic Director Gil Boggs in a statement. "It took two years of dedication, creativity, and hard work—as well as a lot of brains, heart, and courage—to bring The Wizard of Oz to the stage in 2019 and, I must say, it was worth it. After all, where else can you see the Yellow Brick Road spring into dance, witches soar across the stage on bubbles and bicycles, and Colorado Ballet's talented artists pirouette, jeté, and "floss" their way to the Emerald City? We are delighted to share the homecoming performances of this wonderful ballet with our Colorado community in March."
