A MUSICAL EXPERIENCE AT THE MARK TAPER FORUM, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MUSE/IQUE
From The Wonderful Wizard, to The Wiz, to Wicked, the journey to Oz and its band of characters is an American fairytale that has been reimagined time and time again, representing the underdog and radical hope in the face of fear.
Discover your connection to the land and stories of Oz through cherished songs like “We're Off to See the Wizard,” “Home,” "Somewhere Over the Rainbow ," "Defying Gravity," and “For Good.” This unforgettable musical exploration of the self and our shared humanity pays tribute to the hope in us all.
Featuring Carmen Cusack, LaVance Colley, Nathan Granner, DC6 Singers Collective, and the MUSE/IQUE Orchestra led by Artistic & Music Director Rachael Worby!

Built on a tradition of community and collaboration, we create events that feature an eclectic mix of artists and artistic disciplines in unconventional locations—spaces where art typically does not happen. MUSE/IQUE creates transformative musical adventures and illuminates the music that shapes our lives. By reimagining the traditional format of the live classical orchestral experience, Artistic Director Rachael Worby seamlessly blends musical performances with researched curation. Our mission is to build empathy and expand imaginations through transformative live events and strong partnerships with fellow nonprofit organizations in Pasadena and the greater Los Angeles area.
