On Thursday, December 5, at 6:30 p.m., the Apollo Circus Theater of El Algar will be filled with light and color with the musical 'The Wizard of Oz' by the company Mundi Artists, who won the 2012 Red Prize to The best family production.

Tickets are priced at € 12 and € 14.

They can be purchased at the box office on Wednesdays from 6pm to 8pm and at www.teatrocircoapoloelalgar.es

Eight years of travel and more than 2,000 functions attest to the success of this version of the classic of L. Frank Baum that is still present equally in the hearts of fathers, mothers, grandmothers, grandparents, boys and girls.

Dorothy's adventure to return to Kansas contains all the keys of the classic, its symbols and its values, but at the same time it explores new ways to approach the demanding public of the 21st century.

Because, in this version, nothing is as it seems: the Glinda Fairy is as clumsy as it is effective, the Witch of the West is quite neurotic, the worthless Lion looks like an animal version of Tony Manero, the Tin Man has Clint Eastwood complex , and the Scarecrow has the memory of a fish and the innocence of a child.

Through these characters, the story aims to humanize the magic and meet the needs of the adult audience, eternally forgotten in these types of shows, so that the whole family can enjoy a shared experience.

This mixture of modern theater with family theater is also evident in the staging, using audiovisual projections and a simple set of scenery that focuses attention on the most important: the actors.

An exceptional department of characterization and costumes helps make Oz more palpable and three-dimensional than ever.

All this combines a musical that adapts to all types of spaces and offers popular prices without sacrificing an emotional and humorous story for the whole family.

A musical that has been compensated for his boldness with a loyal audience and that, even today, more than five years since its premiere, manages to keep the illusion both outside and on stage.

And that, in the end, is the greatest reward the theater can give.
