"The Wizard of Oz" is one of my favorite musicals! I remember following the dances and sing along with the video in Betamax tape when I was still a little kid. The show is one of my parents' inspiration for my first name, Dorothy, so it was fun for me playing as Dorothy in my own little world in front of the TV. Of course, I can't do that now that I'm all grown up but it would be a lot of fun to catch it in the theater!
