I thought that you'd meant that (It's interesting, in musical theatre, when the Peter Allen show "The Boy from Oz" was moving to Broadway, there were audience members who mistook it to be a sequel to "The Wizard of Oz".) Speaking of sequels to "The Wizard of Oz", are you aware that the original book L. Frank Baum wrote and published in 1900 spawned 39 official sequels? 13 were written by Baum, before his death, and Ruth Plumly Thompson and then Baum's illustrator John R. Neill and some other writers took over the series from then on. I can't remember what the last sequel was, "The Merry-Go-Round of Oz" perhaps. Now, doesn't it make you wonder why Warner Bros. haven't realized that this could be another enormous franchise like Harry Potter? Well, the audience has always taken to the MGM original and half of that audience have complained that they want a new film that's more faithful to the book. You see, Oz was never a dream. Dorothy really went there. And in "The Emerald City of Oz", Dorothy, Toto, Uncle Henry, and Auntie Em, all move there, permanently. "There's no place like home..." indeed. | |
