Just a little behind the scenes of where I have been since February… first in then backstage doing on the Wizard of Oz.

If you ever wondered what it takes to turn the stunning into the for The Wizard of Oz in just 11 minutes including a full wardrobe and wig change here is just a sneak peek at the aftermath of magic Oz isn’t nearly as wonderful without the talented crews behind the stage.

A huge thanks to our IATSE 210 crews for making this show and every show incredible! 🧡
