“A girl is whirled from her home in Kansas by a cyclone which deposits her in the magical land of Oz. There she meets a number of strange companions who accompany her to the city of the Wizard who rules the land, and with his help she returns to Kansas.” — MGM synopsis of L. Frank Baum’s book The Wizard of Oz
I love this movie. I’ve seen it , times. Who hasn't? It is the production that launched a thousand cliches into our well-liked culture, and I would bet that most of us grew up seeing it once a year on television. The chief actors agree (in the book called The Making of The Wizard of Oz by Aljean Harmetz) that the film was not a smashing achievement at the time of its original release. But almost 60 years after it was made, having been placed constantly before our eyes, it is almost unanimously labeled one of the greatest show classics of all time.
The plot is well acknowledged, so I won’t belabor it. I only deducted one point in my Moral Rating because of the good witch/bad witch philosophy, but “The Wizard of Oz” is a beloved part of America. L. Frank Baum himself wrote of his story, “[It] aspires to entity a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and

Introduction
Folklore, legends, myths and fairy tales hold followed childhood through the ages, for every sound youngster has a wholesome and instinctive love for stories fantastic, marvelous and manifestly unreal. The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations.
Yet the old time fairy tale, having served for generations, may now be classed as “historical” in the children’s library; for the time has come for a series of newer “wonder tales” in which the stereotyped genie, dwarf and fairy are eliminated, together with all the horrible and blood-curdling incidents devised by their authors to point a fearsome moral to each tale. Modern education includes morality; therefore the modern toddler seeks only entertainment in its wonder tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident.
Having this thought in intellect, the story of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” was written solely to p
"Oh, we're off to watch the wizard! The Superb Wizard of Oz!"
There's a area that I heard of, once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do show up true ♫

The Wizard of Oz is a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film, and the most well-known screen adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The clip was produced by Mervyn LeRoy, directed by Victor Fleming,note King Vidor replaced Fleming near the end of production and shot most of the Kansas scenes, including Judy Garland singing "Over the Rainbow". and starred Judy Garland as Dorothy, Ray Bolger as the Scarecrow, Jack Haley as the Tin Dude, Bert Lahr as the Cowardly Lion and Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch of the West.
The film changed the silver shoes to ruby slippers (depending on the root, this was either to show off the brand-new Technicolor process of the time, because the writers thought using silver shoes would be boring, or because silver shoes didn't show up well on screen); merged the two good witches together; trim out several story incidents (including all of Dorothy's return to the Emerald

„The most magical adventure of them all …“ That’s how Andrew Lloyd Webber announced ‘his’ Wizard of Oz version at the London Palladium in , a new cast album included. But the version most commonly performed today – apart for the movie – is a s Royal Shakespeare Company stage adaptation. Which is also the one used at the opera house in Magdeburg. Considering that there are recordings of the original RSC cast () featuring a cross-dressed Wicked Witch of the West, and a New York Concert CD () with Debra Winger as the witch and Nathan Lane as the Cowardly Lion, not to mention a Madison Square Garden cast () with Eartha Kitt as the witch and Mickey Rooney as the wizard, you might ask: why bother with Magdeburg?
Well, for one thing, the theater has what most German opera houses have but what most commercial venues in the UK and USA lack: a packed symphonic orchestra, a complete chorus, a children’s chorus, and a ballet collective, plus a house ensemble and guest soloists. You’re unlikely to hear a more opulent Wizard of Oz anywhere, at least not live.
Considering these basic facts, this Der Zauberer von Oz could own been a marvelou
