Dorothy, the lion, the tin man and the scarecrow cower before the wizard

Come along with Dorothy for an evergreen adventure, in one of the most sumptuous Technicolour musicals ever committed to film.

In Kansas, Dorothy (Judy Garland) and her loyal dog Toto are bracing themselves for a tornado...and wake up in a colourful world of witches, flying monkeys and the yellow brick road. 

To get back home, Dorothy must travel to Emerald City, with her friends the Scarecrow (who needs a brain), the Tin Man (who needs a heart) and the Cowardly Lion (who needs courage. The perfect chance to catch up with the original story before Wicked for Good is released in November.
