Imagine "The Wizard of Oz" spiked with a little salsa and merengue. Que divertido! You've pretty much summed up "The Yellow Brick Road," a fun new riff on L. Frank Baum's classic.

The New York Times, July 29, 2011
This isn't your grandparents' "Wizard of Oz." Or your parents' "Wiz." Or your older sister's "Wicked." "The Yellow Brick Road," the 2011 entry in Theatreworks USA's dependably diverting free summer series for young audiences, is a high-spirited mix of all these shows, particularly "The Wiz." The director, Devanand Janki, has packed more than a dozen songs and several winning performances into this Latino-flavored riff on the L. Frank Baum classic at the Lucille Lortel Theater. No time to click heels in this 65-minute telling: these shoes are made for dancing.
