To think that in 1998 the movie was almost sixty years old,, and now thirteen more years have passed, and as other people and memories pass on, this movie remains and shines like a beacon.
We worked with Meinhardt Raabe and Jerry Maren. They did an Oz limited edition autographed poster for our company, Totally Collectible. Jerry played teh lollipop kid and Meinhardt played the Munchkin Coroner. See our site for photos of Meinhardt & Jerry signing the poster.

We just did hair extensions for the pigtails... you can see a detailed makeup process for Dorothy and all the characters on our DVD which you can buy now on Amazon.
i think only judy garland can sing the song how its suppose to be sung, even though i was dorothy in my school play i think also that i can't even sing like judy garland. Judy Garland was a legend. but of course your singing was fabulous., do you mind if you can do a hair tutoriol for the dorothy hair, you seem to have it exactly like the movie,thx
OmG!!! The make up looks EXACTLY like that one from the original MGM Musical 1939!!! How did they doing that?! Are that the same costumes?! It's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, not part of Mark & Brian... separate project from 1998... this was done live in Sep and again on Halloween... then, there was a podcast with all of the actors. The Sep and Oct projects are on one DVD which is now on Amazon.
Oct. 2009. Gadsden, Alabama The wizard of Oz was the best production ever!!! There has never been a better play of the wizard of oz ever in any form!!! The costumes were precise and the acting was like the movie,only this time they had "the jiiterbug' The production was very professional and I cannot even imagine a better recreation of the movie!!!
Sounds great! We tried to do very accurate recreations of the makeups from the film in this event depicted here. Our actor here were superb. But we did not put on an entire play, though that would have been the natural thing to do. We went in front of the Chinese Theater on Halloween 1998!!!
What a completely innapropriate, and tasteless thing to post here. Very innapropriate, not that I believe it for a second.
Really? I knew him for many years and was one of his closest friends, Through marriage, divorce, joy, and hardships.......Sadly if what you say is true, he never thought enough of you to ever mention you once.
yes, he was the very soul of discretion. we both were. at different times, we each had a lot to lose. couldn't help posting, miss him so terribly much.

Yes, Jess played the Lion in a theatrical production of OZ at the Grove Theater in Upland, CA... he had friend Bill Corso configure his makeup and costume... Bill referred me to Jess, and that started the whole ball rolling on the OZ Tribute.
I had nothing to do with the Grove show, but I produced the tribute on Sept 12, 1998 and again on Halloween 98... we did a version with many different cast members in June, 1999.
Tribute to Dick Smith, Tribute to John Chambers, Tribute to Jack Pierce, Tribute to Lon Chaney... posted some clips from those on YouTube... plus other non-makeup stuff.
They performed affectionate parodies of the scenes and songs from the film... it was about a 45-minute presentation plus we had guest speakers who worked on the film and special guests from the movie and makeup industries speak.
It's always fun to go on YouTube and see old partners in crime. Note to Bob Stilwell, type your name in the SEARCH window here on YouTube (hope you enjoy). Note to Jeanne Castagnaro type in "Quilters Grove" (hope you enjoy).

I'm sorry, I meant to hit reply to you and accidentally hit the thumb down button. I'll try to fix that. I wanted to say that this made me cry, too.
Also wanted to say what a great job with the make-up and costumes.

At the ceremony, the witch was created by three-time Oscar winner for makeup - Ve Neill... at the Chinese Theater, Richard Snell (RIP) did the witch.
