Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera taps a family favorite for its Heinz Field debut of the CLO Summer Under the Stars. “The Wizard of Oz” stage musical, running July 8-10, includes all of those familiar songs that transport you from a Kansas farm to Munchkinland and the merry old land of Oz. To comply with safety concerns, the production gives kids a rare opportunity to see live theater on the Steelers’ playing field. It’s an apt venue for the 75th anniversary of the CLO, which started producing musicals in Pitt Stadium in 1946. Tickets start at $15.
