In this classic movie-come-to-life musical adventure, young Dorothy is swept away by a tornado from her Kansas farm to the magical land of Oz. There, she encounters a host of whimsical characters: good witches, bad witches, animals that talk, scarecrows that walk, and things magical to behold. To find her way home, she must journey along the Yellow Brick Road to see the mysterious and all-powerful Wizard in Emerald City. Along the way, she makes new friends, but must also brave many dangers, including the Wicked Witch of the West, who will stop at nothing to get her hands on Dorothy’s magical ruby slippers. To make it home safely, Dorothy must learn an important lesson: there’s no place like home. The show features iconic songs like “Over the Rainbow” and "If I only had a Brain," and “Follow the Yellow Brick Road."

Once Thornton’s plans to marry off Johanna to clear his debts come to light, Sweeney teams up with Mrs. Loveland of Loveland’s Tavern where an accidental kill turns into a lethal partnership, hiding dead bodies in vats of chili, while Sweeney pursues his final revenge against Thornton. Darkly funny with twists and songs galore, Sweeney! Proves that in Cripple Creek, justice, like chili, is best served hot.
