People behind the production

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.
