Experience one of the most beloved films of all time, The Wizard of Oz, as never before. A technical marvel for the MGM studio in the late 1930’s, MGM has stunningly re-mastered this timeless classic. In the year of its 70th anniversary, the brilliantly restored film will be projected on a large screen above the stage and accompanied by your own WCFSO musicians. Hearing Judy Garland’s original 1939 studio recordings, backed by lush, live orchestration, will transport children and adults alike.
