Brazilian actress Taby takes on the iconic role of Dorothy in “The Wizard of OZ – The Musical,” opening March 14 at Teatro Villa Lobos in São Paulo.
A Dream Role Comes to Life
For actress Taby, stepping into the ruby slippers is more than a career milestone — it is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. She will take on the beloved role of Dorothy in “The Wizard of OZ – The Musical”, which opens on March 14 at Teatro Villa Lobos in São Paulo, running through March 29.
“This is, without a doubt, one of the most important moments of my career. It is the realization of a dream,” says the actress.
Why Dorothy Feels Personal
Taby connected with the character immediately. Dorothy’s courage in the face of the unknown and her deep bond with family resonated with the actress on a personal level — values she carries in her own life.
“For Dorothy, home is everything — and so it is for me. I’ve always believed that family is the foundation of everything. I even have a tattoo on my ribs that reads ‘be strong girl,’ and that speaks directly to the strength I seek in life, the same strength Dorothy finds along her journey.”
A Story Built on Timeless Values
The production brings together the power of musical theater with a direct, accessible storytelling style, creating a full immersive experience in the world of OZ. Themes of empathy, courage, and self-discovery make it compelling for audiences of every age.
“The Wizard of Oz is about self-confidence, friendship, unity, and realizing that what we’re searching for already lives within us. And above all, it’s about understanding that there is no place more important than home,” Taby reflects.
Technology Enhancing the Magic
A standout feature of this staging of L. Frank Baum‘s classic is its use of cutting-edge technology. Immersive projections and special effects amplify the magical atmosphere, delivering a visual and sensory experience that goes well beyond traditional stagecraft.
