Based on the book “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” by L.

After landing in Munchkinland, Dorothy travels with the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion along the yellow brick road in search of the great and powerful Wizard of Oz.
This lively adaptation features classic songs "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "We're Off to See the Wizard" that are sure to delight the entire family.
