SYNOPSIS
Dorothy is a sweet girl who lives on a farm in Kansas with her Uncle
Henry and Auntie Emma.
One day, a big, swirling tornado picks up Dorothy's house and
whisks it away to a magical land far, far away! When her house
lands, it accidentally squishes the Wicked Witch of the East. Oops!
Glinda, the Good Witch tells Dorothy the only way to get back home
is to visit the wonderful Wizard of Oz in the shiny Emerald City.
So, Dorothy sets off on a bright yellow brick road!
On her way to meet the Wizard she meets a brainless Scarecrow,
a Tin man who hasn’t got a heart and a cowardly lion.
Together, Dorothy and her new friends skip down the yellow brick
road to find the Wizard.
But ...what will happen when they meet him?
Will the Wizard be able to help them all get what they wish for?
