I wonder if there is any production of the Wizard of Oz just as detailed as the book. The book was so awesome, it made the movie look like a joke. However, it's clear they came up with the next best thing in NY.

@MONOPOLY35 The problem with making a stage production based on the full-length novel is that it would have to be quite long. It is sometimes hard enough to get an audience to remain seated for the 2 hours and 15 minutes that the RSC adaptation runs much less the 3.5-4 hours that would be necessary to include all aspects of the novel.

Roseanne? Where's Eartha Kitt?

[WizardofOzfan39]

Eartha Kitt didn't come to the production until 1998.

Do you have the 1998 and 1999 Commericals of this production of Wizard of Oz? Both of them featuring Mickey Rooney.

[WizardofOzfan39]

I have the 1998 commercial, however, cannot upload it because it is an unsuitable file format for YouTube.

i never got to go see it as a child! but i wished i did?

[MONOPOLY35]

@WizardofOzfan39 Yeah, I betcha it would be confusing to watch a 27 day storyline with characters in unusual forms, even if it was a Movie as long as "10 Commandments". The Witch of the West had no crystal ball (against common culture). This witch also had only one Super Eye. Having small mice rescue the main characters is far more difficult than snow coming out of nowhere. The characters also had favorite colors. Imagine all the green, red, blue, and yellow that would be needed, etc.

And she's not even the film one...she's the musical's idea of the film one...they're totally unrelated, in my opinion.
