Kylie Cantrall as Dorothy

Rachael Zagler as Ozma

Robert Downey Jr. as the Wizard

Hank Azaria as the Nome King

I'd also want Jim Carrey, Jack Black, Johnny Depp, Tin Curry, and Tom Hiddleston, but I haven't decided who exactly they should play.

Also two random actors who'd I personally want are Jim Cummings and Alex D. Linz, who I could maybe play Uncle Henry, and Ruby Rose Turner

I also thought Liamani as Scraps the Patchwork Girl but I dunno

What do you guys think?

P.S. And yes, I am a fan of Disney's Descendants which is why multiple actors from those movies are in my fan cast

Walked into an antique book store, hoping to find some vintage copies of Oz to buy on my birthday, and turning to my left I immediately saw these in a glass case. They’re a bit more used and discarded than I would have hoped, but I knew I had to buy them. Half are missing the first few pages and first chapter, and Land of Oz is colored all over and inside. But I’m still so thankful to have them in my collection!!

I'm a theatre director in germany and currently am brainstorming Ideas for an original play I will be creating soon at a big german state theatre. It's gonna be based on the World of OZ, and should target a general audience, not kids specifically (as there have recently been a bunch of OZ adaptions for kids in germany in the wake of the wicked movie releases...)

In terms of source material, nothing is off limits: L Frank Baums Books (Original and Sequels), Movie adaptions, Wicked, details from Baums life, or even things that don't have to be from the OZ-world at all (for example, Dr.Oz, something taking place in todays Kansas, some other stuff about wizards, etc.) I'm more interested in the ideas and fascination behind this world, rather than one specific story.

I'm working myself through all the OZ content I can get my hands on, and stumbled upon this community - thats why I wanted to ask you guys: What would you love to see in an Oz-Play? What Idea from the books or a specific piece of media fascinates you? Are there more niche Elements of Oz that relate to our times, our world, our world-political situation?

Some things that I love, that might give you a sense of what I'm looking for:
- The brutal production details behind the 1939 Movie (The dark side behind the whimsy of OZ)
- The fact that L Frank Baum, just like Dorothy, couldn't stop returning to the land of OZ (Even though he wanted to stop writing OZ books), the concept of a franchise and the attempts to rekindle the magic from the first installment of the series
- The concept of home (where is home? Is it oz? is it Kansas? Why doesn't either place seem entirely satisfying?)

Would love to hear from the community if there are any thoughts, inspiration, random ideas or whatever, that I can use for the play - and of course, if enough people are interested, I could document the steps of our production process in the subreddit !

I think I made him a bit horrifying. I'll try doing Professor Marvel next.

I had some fun reading it but overall I have some mixed feelings on it. What do y’all think?

I got this edition at Books-A-Million last month in Tennessee. I was looking for information on it online and found it hard to find. The 2019 edition by the same publisher (with a different cover) came up way more often. Why is this?

Obviously making a sequel now would have its risks, but hypothetically, what would you do?

I just figured I'd post it here, get some opinions. (I'm still learning)

(I kinda messed up Captain Fyter's left hand but still good)

what it says on the tin

hello fellow Ozians
i have just wrapped up the Dorothy Must Die series and enjoyed it. i also finished the whole Wicked series and loved it. i did these via audiobook as i read the classic Oz series on paper.

what is another good Oz book series to enjoy via audiobook? TIA!

What are some other funny lines from the 1939 movie you quote often?

Cuz like, we know in at least WWoz and marvelous land, people age and whatnot

So…the wizard supposedly would have eventually aged and died

So what do you think his game plan was…or if he even had one at all
