bullet Topic: Wizard of Oz (ending?)
    Posted: 3/16/08 at 6:40pm
I would like to hear from those who have produced this show.   We are considering this for our next Youth production, but when I read the script recently, I was shocked by the ending.  I have the "muny" version, which is a bit more simplistic for staging purposes.  In this ending, Dorothy's shoes are totally ignored-- then, she and the Wizard hop into a rocket ship and fly away. 
 
Rocket ship?  Is this the same ending as the longer version?  Perhaps the rocket is in the original book?  I would imagine this would cause a stir in the audience if Dorothy ignores her shoes and just hops into a rocket.  It just doesn't seem to fit-- especially given the history of the movie.

I think you will find the film script was adapted from the orginal book.
