What To Do This Weekend (15 to 17 Nov 2024)

Ready for the weekend? Here's what you can look forward to this week.

1. The Wizard of Oz

Catch Wild Rice's annual Christmas pantomime from now till end December. This year, you can look forward to a reimagining of the beloved children's book, The Wizard of Oz.

If there’s one place in Singapore where freaky things can happen, it’s Yishun. That’s how Dorothy finds herself swept up by a cyclone one day and transported to the magical land of Oz, where the Munchkins live the high life in the East and the Winkies toil and labour in the West under the tyrannical rule of the Wicked Witch.

To find her way back, Dorothy needs to seek an audience with the mysterious Wizard of Oz. Along the way, she gets help from a Hokkien-speaking Scarecrow, a Tin Man with a big axe and even bigger vocabulary, and a sensitive, crochet-loving Lion.

But what dangers lie ahead in this strange world that sometimes reminds Dorothy so much of Singapore? And will brains, heart and courage be enough to get her home?

With a story by award-winning playwright Alfian Sa’at, this cheerful musical serves up an adventure full of heart, humour, and home truths that will delight both kids and the young at heart.
