Center Theatre Group presents the return of TheaterWorksUSA’s production El Otro Oz, a bilingual musical inspired by The Wizard of Oz from March 29 to April 13, 2025 at the Kirk Douglas Theatre. El Otro Oz was awarded a Critic’s Pick by The New York Times reviewers. Tickets and information are available at CenterTheatreGroup.org. The show is recommended for everyone ages 6 and up.
This production is part of CTG: FWD which began with theatrical special events, community gatherings, and legacy projects and now expands to include an eclectic offering of plays and musicals at Center Theatre Group venues. In the last two seasons, CTG: FWD also presented TheatreworksUSA’s productions of Dog Man: The Musical, Cat Kid Comic Club: The Musical and El Otro Oz to sold out houses at the Kirk Douglas Theatre.
El Otro Oz is a bilingual musical by Mando Alvarado, Tommy Newman, and Jaime Lozano, which returns to the Kirk Douglas Theatre in a reimagined production. Click your heels together tres veces and take a transformative journey with this salsa, merengue, and Mexican folk-infused musical inspired by The Wizard of Oz. As her fifteenth birthday approaches, Dora, a contemporary Latiné teenager, struggles with her family’s ideas about tradition and dreads her impending quinceañera! But, when Dora gets swept away to a strange new land, she learns how to celebrate her unique rhythm and embrace her cultural identity.
