Ruby slippers in the Red Stick

There’s no place like home to catch the magic of the Wizard of Oz musical live on stage, and the River Center is bringing the classic L. Frank Baum story downtown as part of their Broadway in Baton Rouge series. Join Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion as they try to avoid wicked witches and flying monkeys on their journey to find their hearts’ desires. Tuesday and Wednesday, December 8-9. 8 p.m. Tickets are $36-$56. brrivercenter.com
