About The Wizard of Oz
Adaptations of L. Frank Baum‘s 1900 children’s fantasy novel has delighted audiences for almost a hundred years. According to the Liberty of Congress, the much-loved 1939 picture is the most-viewed film in movie history. The critics were just as enamoured by the Emerald City, with the picture winning three Oscars, including Best Song for “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”
Showcasing this award-winning original score, with additional songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, the newest adaptation from Nikolai Foster captures the heart of the original for a modern audience.
The Wizard of Oz Synopsis
When a tornado transports Dorothy and her dog Toto from Kansas to the magical world of Oz, nothing is as it seems…
Following Glinda the Good Witch’s advice and setting off down the yellow brick road, Dorothy soon befriends a Scarecrow, Tinman, and Cowardly Lion. Dorothy quickly discovers that she isn’t the only one in search of something, as each of her new friends reveals their hearts (or missing hearts) desires.
Despite the best efforts of the Wicked Witch, the unlikely quintet eventually reaches the retro-futuristic Emerald City, where the great and powerful Oz resides. It is here, at the home of The Wizard, where the friends hope they’ll be granted their wishes and maybe even a way home…
