ABOUT THE SHOW:

“There’s no place like home,” but you will want to be at the Cary Arts Center this spring when the stage is transformed for this fantastic, family-friendly musical presented by Cary Players in partnership with the Town of Cary’s Marvelous Music Family Series.  Audiences will fondly recognize Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion and, of course, Toto, as upbeat dance numbers and clever staging delight the entire family.
