This is awful.

The production stills give me the feeling of some sick OZ Porno. Don't ask me why.

Maybe it's the little girl chained up with a leash around her neck.... but maybe not.

Audrey - you are the cutest schill ever. I'd love to wrap you up in a beautiful box and take you home to meet my family!!

PRS- I opted out of watching the clip.

Ha! I couldn't look away. Apparently this new twist on Oz is to have a screeching children's choir that raps!

^ So basically it's like Lin-Manuel wrote a kids musical?

Ha. None of the kids in the video - not even star-to-be Child E. Member - have his charm.

Phyllis- That clip was HILARIOUS!!! The whole office is horrified, yet rolling with laughter.

I like how it's called a dress rehearsal, but they are all just wearing jeans. Is this Equity?

Glinda seems to be doing her best to channel Chenoweth, but it really isn't working. This is one of the funniest train wrecks I've ever seen. I oddly can't stop watching the clip.

is there more scenery than the one ugly backdrop?

[WhizzerMarvin]

The backdrop is horrible, and don't some of the children almost looked like drugged up zombies? The 'choreography' is a hoot.

That's because There's a party (PARTY) in Munchkinland!

I'm really tired of "Dorothy" looking like a club-crawling Lolita ho. So many have tried that revamped approach in recent years, and it's a terrible idea. It never works.

There's definitely no copyright infringements here that I can see, as Husk pointed out. They would get into trouble if they used Ruby Slippers on Dorothy's feet instead of Silver Shoes. Those shoes were only ruby in the MGM film, which is still under copyright protection. The original book, however, is public domain.

But the original book doesn't have an appearance by Glinda till the end, nor does the Wicked Witch of the West show up in Munchinkland when Dorothy arrives to demand her sister's shoes.

I will spend the rest of the day using the phrase "club-crawling Lolita ho."

LOL.

Yeah, those are devices from the movie! Foul! I hope they have good lawyers at the ready.

Maybe the money for a set went to retaining a law firm?
