Description
Before taking the kids to see Star Wars for the umpteenth time, consider traveling somewhere over the rainbow, instead of a galaxy far, far away. In a TED Talk on "How Movies Teach Manhood," Colin Stokes criticizes the original Star Wars series for failing to be as progressive as The Wizard of Oz from 1939. This live musical production adapts the Oscar-winning movie score from the original blockbuster while introducing new songs by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Bringing the magic of the screen to life, the whole family can appreciate 3-D entertainment without those pesky glasses. (AB)The Wicked Witch of the West is back and Dorothy is clicking those ruby red heels again as the South Valley Civic Theater presents the Wizard of Oz. This story is about a girl from Kansas who takes a trip down the Yellow Brick Road and encounters imaginative characters such as The Lion and Tinman.
The Wizard of Oz was first written by L. Frank Baum and published as a book in 1900. In 1939, it was made into a movie.
