Description: One of the most beloved film musicals of all time The Wizard of Oz represents an enduring family favorite and cultural classic. Yet there is much more to the story than meets the eye and the MGM movie is just one of many ways in which it has been represented. In this lively and wide - ranging book editors Danielle Birkett and Dominic Mc Hugh bring together insights from eleven experts into the varied musical forms this great American myth has taken in the past century. Starting with the early adaptations of L. Frank Baum's story the book also explores the writing composition and reception of the MGM film its importance in queer culture stage adaptations of the movie cult classic The Wiz Stephen Schwartz's Broadway blockbuster Wicked and the cultural afterlife of the iconic Arlen - Harburg songs. What emerges is a vivid overview of how music - on stage and screen - has been an essential part of the story's journey to become a centerpiece of American culture.
