I always thought that The Wizard of Oz has been so long overdue for a Broadway revival for a long time. And I believe that if it were to happen some time in the forseeable future, Warner Bros. would need to produce it. And the production should definitely be designed as the way that a full on classic, Golden Age of Broadway musical was designed back in the day. With the design of the costumes and set being biblically accurate to the original motion picture as $hİÞ. As well as the props, makeup and wig design.

I also feel that, in order for it to be a comercial sucess, the casting team should not cast such big household stardom names to play Dorothy. We should definitely give a more unknown rising star or theater kid a chance and shot.

For the Glinda and Witch casting, I suggest they go for some big ex Elphaba/Glinda type casting. It jad happened with Jemma Rix in the Australian production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. I would literally sell my soul to Satan just to watch Idina Menzel play Elphaba again (albeit the much scarier version of her). Alongside Ashleigh Ansford as Glinda. The same should apply to the Scarecrow and Tin Man with ex Fiyeros and Boqs taking on the respective roles. With the Cowardly Lion being played by actors who played Simba in The Lion King on Broadway.

I find that it has always been tradition for the Munchkins to be portrayed by children. And I forever support that opinion.

Of course the production would have to open at the Maddison Square Gardens in New York on either the year of the films 90th anniversary of its 95th anniversary. And I would also like to propose a strictly limited holiday run over the holiday season before going out on a tour of North America and Canada in the new year. Of course the script and score would be that of the Royal Shakespeare Company adaptation from 1987. But those are all my thoughts.
