The Wizard of Oz on Ice spectacular live production transformed the stage at the Jim & Linda Lee Performing Arts Center into a glistening ice rink in March, bringing one of the most beloved stories of all time to life through breathtaking skating, vibrant costumes and unforgettable music.
With stunning choreography, enchanting visuals and world-class performers, Wizard of Oz on Ice blended classic storytelling with the excitement and wonder of live ice skating for a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience.
Bringing an ice show to a traditional theater stage may seem like magic — and in many ways, it was. For this production, the stage was transformed using state-of-the-art synthetic ice technology, specially engineered to create a smooth, skateable surface. The innovative rink system allowed professional skaters to perform with speed, artistry and precision while maintaining the comfort of an indoor theater environment.
Young audience members — and the young at heart — were invited to come dressed as their favorite Wizard of Oz character and participate in a special costume contest during intermission.

Tickets for all performances at the performing arts center are available exclusively at the JLLPAC Box Office or at www.ycpac.com.
