DEC 8 · THE OFFICIAL SEQUEL TO WICKED
The Wizard of Oz
A film by Victor Fleming & King Vidor
w/ Judy Garland, Frank Morgan & Ray Bolger
Rated G
1hr 42min
When a tornado rips through Kansas, Dorothy (Judy Garland) and her dog, Toto, are whisked away in their house to the magical land of Oz. They follow the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City to meet the Wizard, and en route they meet a Scarecrow (Ray Bolger) that needs a brain, a Tin Man (Jack Haley) missing a heart, and a Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) who wants courage. The wizard asks the group to bring him the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) to earn his help.
Seen 85 years later, The Wizard of Oz has been interpreted many ways, including as a parable for the Populist movement of the 1890s, an allegory about the demonetization of silver in 1873, and a representation of the American experience during the Great Depression.
But we prefer to just call it the sequel to Wicked.
"Audiences will fall under the spell of The Wizard of Oz just as does Dorothy, the heroine of this story, when a Kansas tornado blows her into the wonderful land of Oz. Remarkable technical effects and beautiful photography create an air of sheer magic."

"The world of yesterday's, and perhaps tomorrow's, dreams created decades ago in the imagination of Frank L. Baum comes to the screen as a triumph of the movie camera in the realm of fantasy."
