Off to see the Wizard and Dorothy and Toto too!

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 2008)

The Wizard of Oz has survived, thrived, and often influenced great works like Broadway's Wicked musical based on the evil witch who died. The story from L. Frank Baum's novel of the same name is adapted again but starring the wonderful Judy Garland as Dorothy, a role that never really escaped her identity. Margaret Hamilton, a former school teacher would play the evil witch in this version. The supporting cast of characters included munchkins that earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The munchkins introduced it's audiences to dwarf sized adults many of us for the first time. The Wizard of Oz and it's unforgettable cast of characters included in the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion. The film version has inspired spoofs and countless attempts to recapture it's brilliance. The cast and crew are unforgettable in developing one of the finest film classics of our time and with Judy's Over the Rainbow performance, you won't forget her ever.
