Most of what I have learned from Oz is from the era of television and film. However, I did catch the “Project Runway” segment on the challenge to create a look for “Wicked.” On the cable show “Faceoff” great “other worldly” imagination, talent and creativity gives its own twists.
From the list below here there appears many new Oz themed adaptations in the works. Oz, obviously, continues to inspire and hopefully give many more opportunities to explore the messages.
What do you have to say about any of the listed Oz productions?
Did any affect you? How did it relate to wisdoms and lessons? Can you recommend any?
