L. Frank Baum's children classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has inspired countless adaptations since it was written in 1900.
Besides the Oscar-winning 1939 film, The Wizard of Oz, starring Judy Garland, there has been The Wiz – starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson –, the unofficial Disney sequel Return to Oz and even a Muppet version.
On stage, the tale has also undergone many incarnations, including the recent Andrew Lloyd Webber West End production and the Tony award-winning musical Wicked — told from the perspective of the witches —, which continues to be a hit both in London and on Broadway.
For his new take on the tale, director Sam Raimi's plan from the outset was to make a film that serves as a prequel to Baum's book.
His 3D version, Oz, The Great and Powerful, tells the untold story of how a charming man, Oscar Diggs, became the wizard of Oz.
The film stars James Franco as Diggs, who finds himself in Oz after being caught up in a tornado.
He then meets the witch sisters Theodora, Evanora and Glinda, played by Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams respectively, who show him the good and the bad in the mystical land. Academy Award-winner Weisz says the chance to play a “good old-fashioned villainess” drew her to the role of Evanora.
“I thought it would be really fun to play someone really bad and evil... the more evil they are, the more fun they have.”, she says. The actress remembers going to see the 1939 MGM film as one of her first trips to the cinema.
“What makes that film very charming is the sweetness,” she says. “You can see the make-up and the special effects are at the beginning of what special effects can do.” The fact that now they can make me look like I’m flying, when I’m on wires, is impressive.
Reviews for the film in the US have been mixed. The Hollywood Reporter claims the “unimaginative” film is pitched at children under the age of six, but other reviewers praise the colourful “feast for the eyes” and immersive 3D experience.

Broadway, NYC
Broadway refers to the famous street in Manhattan that has become the worldwide leader in stage entertainment. The history of
Broadway dates all the way back to the 1700s, when the first NYC stage was built on Nassau Street. This NYC theater held less than 300
people, and mostly presented Shakespeare plays. It wasn't until after the American Revolution — in 1798 — that the first great NYC theater
was built.
New York Broadway in the 1800s
Built on Chatham St in Downtown Manhattan, the Park Theater NYC started a new era of theater in New York. Several more NYC
theaters opened up between 1800-1850. After the Civil War, the center of New York theater moved from Downtown to Midtown
Manhattan, because of their cheaper rates on NY real estate.
In the late-1800s and early 1900s, the dramatic rise in train transportation — as well as the NYC subway — led to a drop in poverty and
a higher demand for evening New York entertainment. Soon, the NYC theater district was bustling, leading to more expensive and
ambitious Broadway productions.
“The Great White Way”
Originally coined by the New York Evening Telegram, “The Great White Way” refers to the Theater District area of Broadway,
in Midtown. Beginning in the early-1900s, Broadway theaters used bright electric signs made up of white lights to advertise shows. Soon,
the bright lights of Broadway NYC would become known as “The Great White Way”, giving birth to a new NYC landmark. It was also
around this time that Broadway theaters finally made their way to Times Square NY.
In the 1920s a great number of classic Broadway shows premiered, but the business was faced with the uncertainty of the Great
Depression. The number of Broadway shows fell in the 1930s, as famous Broadway producers found themselves out of money and out
on the street like so many other Americans. However, much like New York City has again and again, Broadway would soon recover.
