Frisch Marionettes Wizard of Oz Tickets

Frisch Marionettes Wizard of Oz is a puppetry-rich retelling of the classic story, crafted and produced by Kevin Frisch as part of The Frisch Marionette Company. Founded in Cincinnati in 1995, this company has built a national reputation for inventive, narrative-driven puppetry that puts marionettes front and center. The Wizard of Oz features eight original songs plus a reprise, drawing on early-20th-century American musical styles to create a storytelling experience that stands apart from traditional MGM/Broadway adaptations.

With puppetry as the primary storytelling vehicle, the show uses music to enhance mood, character, and plot, inviting audiences of all ages to experience the wonder of live performance. The Frisch Marionette Company has been a fixture in Cincinnati’s theatre scene for decades, and Frisch’s puppets have appeared in a range of media and theatre contexts beyond children’s shows. This page highlights the Wizard of Oz production, its creative team, and upcoming appearances.

Upcoming engagements include performances at the Cleveland Oktoberfest in Cleveland, Ohio, marking a continued presence in the Midwest theatre calendar. See below for show details, booking information, and how to secure your seats through Gold Coast Tickets.
