The Wizard of Oz tour is back for another year?

So, apparently the Networks-originated tour of The Wizard of Oz is going back out on the road.. again.. for another year, and without Networks attached.

The website states "this site contains information from the 2010-2011 tour. Check back soon for future tour updates."

Has anyone heard a THING?? It's obviously out non-Equity and is being produced on it's own (Wizard of Oz Company, LLC), but i don't recall reading a casting notice, seeing buzz from anyone on Facebook about anyone hitting the road... nothing...

Obviously, they're trying to squeeze the juice out of the lemon before Webber gets a chance. I give them credit for trying!

I think you're generalizing about Americans. I'm American and I enjoyed ALW's Oz in London. One of the major reasons I liked it was because it was not the film on stage. I'm not interested in "film on stage" productions of Oz, or anything else, really. If I want the movie, I'll see the movie.

NETworks hasn't been involved in OZ for over a year. Last years tour (it's second year I believe) wasn't produced by NETworks either. They just did the first season.
