"The Wizard of Oz" Sing-Along (1939)

Sunday, February 16, 2025 1:00–2:40 PM
  • Description
    Get those voices ready to sing along with this Hollywood classic! While not initially a major financial success due to its large budget, <em>The Wizard of Oz</em> was a critical and cultural sensation when released in 1939 (losing the Best Picture Oscar to similarly-popular <em>Gone with the Wind</em>). Its multi-generational nostalgia solidified with its annual holiday telecasts, first on CBS and later NBC, where Dorothy (Judy Garland) became iconic and her journey well-known: A tornado hits Kansas and sends her and her little dog, too, to Oz. Once there, she befriends a brainless Scarecrow (Ray Bolger), a heartless Tin Man (Jack Haley), and a spineless Lion (Bert Lahr). The four follow the yellow brick road to meet the eponymous Wizard while battling the Wicked Witch of the West (née Elphaba).<br><br><a href="https://performingarts.nd.edu/event/17796/the-wizard-of-oz-sing-along-1939/">GET TICKETS</a>
