Since I was a wee-one, one of my favorite movies has always been The Wizard of Oz.  The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra has taken this classic film and added a new and engaging twist to it.  Oz fans young and old can follow the yellow brick road (or Grand Blvd) to see our city's award winning orchestra as they provide the live accompaniment to the classic film. 

This show is guaranteed to be engaging for old fans and would be a great way to share the classic with new ones.  There will be Oz memorabilia collectors on hand, a couple of munchkins, and a member of the orchestra even made ruby slippers for all the ladies who will be providing the background music.

What: Oz with Orchestra
When: Saturday December 27th at 7:30pm and Sunday December 28th at 3pm and 7:30pm.
Where:  Powell Symphony Hall (718 N. Grand)

While I have never been one to shirk away from singing along with the television, how much cooler would it be to have the soundtrack being played live to back you up?
