No Place Like Home: The Wizard of Oz
This beloved Technicolor musical starring Judy Garland still dazzles with imaginative effects and its universal message: there's no place like home.
This beloved Technicolor musical starring Judy Garland still dazzles with imaginative effects and its universal message: there's no place like home.
You know the story: Judy Garland stars as Dorothy Gale, a young Kansas farm girl who dreams of a land "somewhere over the rainbow." A tornado grants that wish, transporting her to a magical Technicolor world unlike anything she has seen before. She quickly makes herself a mortal enemy, the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) and a few friends: a scarecrow without a brain, a tin man with no heart and a cowardly lion.
Protected by a pair of enchanted Ruby Slippers, Dorothy must "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" to the Emerald City to beseech the "Wonderful Wizard of Oz" to help her get back to her family because there's no place like home. With Wicked: For Good coming soon, this is the perfect time to revisit the classic movie that inspired a reimagining from the witches' point of view.
