As an update, it all feels pretty diluted. But Green updates the toe-tapping score, too, deliberately drawing on different genres from across the African diaspora.
Tarik Frimpong as Scarecrow, Llewellyn Graham as Tin Man and Jonathan Andre as the cowardly Lion all bring slick moves and physical comedy chops, with Andre a particular treat as the mane-tossing, purrfectly camp Lion. Anelisa Lamola and Bree Smith play the good witches as an enjoyable pair of headscarf-wearing, hip-rolling kindly aunties.
Of course, creating a fantastical land and an emerald city is a challenge at this scale, but the production fails to find smart workarounds, meaning that the storytelling itself can become muddy.
Matters are not helped by having audience members lining the stage, only to be mostly ignored by the actors. You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.

Remains a family favourite by Simon Crust Oct 31, Review Specs Discussion The Wizard of Oz has a scene in it that has stayed with me since I first saw it, in black and white, on a tiny portable TV in my kitchen when I was about 5 or 6 — the flying monkeys tearing apart the scarecrow.
As brief as it is and as silly as it sounds, that scene still sends shivers down my spine. The tale of Dorothy, a small town, country girl, who is whisked to a faraway land where she immediately kills, and is then instructed to set off with three friends to kill again, has been enjoyed by generations of children and is fondly remembered as much for its songs as well as for its whimsy.
A combination of perfect casting, musical genius, technicolour camera work and a script that can be enjoyed on many levels has allowed the film to endure. I have the wizard of oz on standard dvd with no extras, but I really am glad to own this dvd it was worth more then I had paid for it, I highly recommend the dvd series to everyone who loves the childhood memories th ey had when they were young, and now you have a chance to relive it again with your own kids or grandchildren, I will leave you with this saying,as the cowardly lion use to say all you need is a little courage Read full review.
This is truly a masterpiece for your DVD collection. Not only is the movie there is crisp clean remastered quality but there are over 16 hours of special features! Nearly 4 hours of those extras are unique to this box set. I got the 4-disc Emerald Edition. The first disc has a commentary and a music-only track. The second disc has all the featurettes, deleted scenes and documentaries, the 3rd and 4th disc has all these old shorts, films and other adaptations of the Oz story. Pretty awesome set!
I love it! So glad I was given the opportunity to get one in just the right size for a decent price. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: New. View Cart. Continue Shopping. Sorry, unfortunately this product is currently out of stock Other customers purchased instead.
