The beloved tale, The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum; Music and Lyrics by Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg, tells the story of Dorothy Gale, a young woman living on a Kansas farm with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, dreaming of escaping her mundane life (“Over The Rainbow“).
When a twister strikes the family farm, Dorothy and Toto are whisked over the rainbow to a far-away land filled with colorful characters and daring adventures; some who become her truest friends. The Scarecrow, Lion, and Tin Man journey with Dorothy to meet The Wizard in which they find out a shocking secret! Ultimately, Dorothy discovers the truth that not everyone is who they say they are and the delightful power that there really is “No Place like Home.”
