This is the second time I have purchased this program. The first was when it was originally released a few years ago on cassette, and it won the Parents Choice Award (which is why I got it). It is faithful to the book, and the music is just amazing, bringing scenes to life and various themes are used to identify characters. Dorothy is wonderful, and thank God she doesn't do a Judy Garland impersonation like another OZ radio drama I heard by another company. The Lion does NOT do Bert Lahr as another reviewer here has stated (I didn't hear one "put 'em up" in the entire show:) and the Scarecrow really does sound like there is straw in his throat (this voice gives him real character and sets him apart - I think a normal voiced actor would not get the imagery across - we can't see him, like we do int he movie). The Tin Man was also a fun character, with his squeaky voice. The Wicked Witch of the West is not the cackling hag from the movie, but is played more like she is in the book (she is only in one chapter in the book and is not as large a role as in the movie), a mean old woman.What is good here is that all the major voices are very distinctive and you won't find yourself wondering who is who when the story takes off.Dorothy's entrance into Munchkinland is a beautiful moment in the show, with the music and chorus painting a magical picture, and the entrance into the Emerald City is spectacular. It's a fun production, kids will love it (and adults too).

All I know is the movie. The performance is good. The mixing is great. Buy it for a kid that loves the movie.

Great story, my kids love it.

Great CD

Since there seem to be reviews for two totally different products mixed together here, this review is for the 2 CD Radio Dramatization of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.We sat down and listened to this as a family during lunch a couple of days in a row (myself, my 5 year old daughter, and my sons ages 7 to 13). We all thoroughly enjoyed this presentation. As has been mentioned in other reviews, the story is told mostly through the dialogue, with different people voicing each character. The voices are all distinctive and we had no problem keeping track of who was who.It has been a few years since I read the book, but this did appear to follow the storyline fairly faithfully. For people who are only familiar with the movie, you do need to realize that the movie is not very faithful to the book.The music and background noises helped to move the story along and we found them to be a terrific addition. The balloon rising and floating off without Dorothy, for instance... with the music, you could almost see it float away.We truly enjoyed this production.My only complaint is the packaging. Instead of a solid case of any type, the CDs were in paper sleeves, in a cardboard envelope with styrofoam to hold it in place. For the price, though, the lack of a jewel case is acceptable.

Once again I have been overwhelmed by the incredible talent of Jerry Robbins and the Colonial Radio Theatre On The Air. It never ceases to amaze me how diverse their repertoire is. Historically accurate stories, children's stories, adventure stories, mystery stories, horror stories, etc! This is of course is the infectious story by L. Frank Baum about a little Kansas bred girl named Dorothy and the incredible and fantastic world she and her dog Toto visit via a ride from a tornado.Please be warned this is not an radio dramatization of the movie starring Judy Garland. This is a first rate adaptation of the first in the series of OZ books. If I had to sum it up in one word I'd use the word innocent. The style of the drama is as the book is which is lighthearted, innocent, and just plain sweet. The acting is excellent and very warm-hearted and the pacing of the story is excellent along with the direction. The musical score is very much appropriate and you can almost see the characters in its notes. The cast is excellent from Dorothy right to the Wizard.If you have children and want to teach them to use their imagination or will be going on a long road trip take the OZ set by Jerry Robbins & the Colonial Radio Theatre and prepare to be transported back to the emerald city along with the inhabitants of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

First off, I'm as confused and frustrated as everyone else about Amazon's choice to merge reviews of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: A Radio Dramatization with the old Kindle edition (I assume this comes from recycling ASN's). That said, this review is for the former.This dramatization adheres to a stage feel, adapting the book to the theatre rather than reading lines like an audiobook. For me, the experience was more enjoyable as actors were solidly in their roles, lines were delivered commandingly, and the experience felt immersive. If, on the other hand, you prefer traditional line-led audiobooks, I'm hesitant to recommend this recording as the style may feel halted and disingenuous to you.In either case, Dorothy's journey to see the Wonderful Wizard of Oz is so indelibly connected to the classic movie that a word of warning comes next. This play follows the original 1900 book, not the 1902 stage show on which the movie was platformed. And while it is not a line-by-line perfect rendition of its source material, it is most certainly not a Hollywood musical. The difference here is a darker, more dangerous Oz in which the perils of the journey are reflective of Baum's political intent in penning it.In sum, I found it a delightfully well done edition of the story with a well-selected cast, vibrant effects, and a clean recording.
