WICKED looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin – smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”

Experience the historic Gillioz as if it were opening day all over again with silent film and live entertainment from the Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra. Silent film is anything but silent—it’s a highly interactive experience, with live musicians providing the soundtrack and the audience responding loudly at the direction of the conductor.
Mix in live entertainers between films, and you have a veritable time machine to what the Gillioz was like nearly 100 years ago. Featuring silent film star Harold Lloyd in Safety Last! and a car-centric short titled Get Under and Get Out. This event is part of the Route 66 Centennial Series.
Tickets can only be reserved by phone or in person at the Gillioz Box Office (Monday–Friday, 10 AM–4 PM):
By phone: 417-863-9491

IMPORTANT: All reserved tickets must be redeemed at least 15 minutes before showtime. Tickets not redeemed by this time will be released to other patrons.
Reservations are e-tickets only. A commemorative ticket will be handed out upon arrival at the event.

Volunteers should wear clothes and shoes they don't mind getting dirty, and bring sunscreen, bug spray, water, and a hat if desired. This is a family friendly opportunity, but children under 16 years old should be accompanied by a caregiver.
