The Wizard of Oz (绿野仙踪) was written by American author Frank Baum and became a bestseller since it was published in 1900. This time it will be performed by Airship, a Japanese puppet troupe set up in 1966. The troupe first played in China at Guangzhou's Huang Hua Gang theatre in 2007 with Aladdin and the Magic Lantern.

Dorothy Gale, a 12-year-old Kansas farm girl, is knocked unconscious during a tornado.
