March 07, 2021BONUS: Joseph Rubin on Canton Comic Opera's 2010 Revival of 1902's "The Wizard of Oz"
Send us a text
Tara and EmKay are THRILLED to be joined by Joseph Rubin, the Founder and Executive Director of American Musical Productions. In 2010, he devoted his efforts to research and restore 1902's original Broadway production of "The Wizard of Oz" at Canton Comic Opera in Canton, Ohio. Joseph unpacks his experience reviving this zany production, offers advice on keeping these rich musical theatre histories alive, and provides deeper context of Oz's foray onto the stages of Broadway. Our deep gratitude to Joseph for providing music from the show.

March 03, 2021Broadway's 1903 "The Wizard of Oz" Musical Extravaganza! (Part 2)
Send us a text
Tara and EmKay continue unpacking 1903's original Broadway production of "The Wizard of Oz" by reading some critical reviews, imagining the lives of the chorus girls, and even comparing the second touring company to their own personal touring experiences! Further iterations of Oz such as silent films, a failed Wogglebug musical, and beginnings of MGM's acquiring of the rights lead into setting the stage for 1939's "The Wizard of Oz."

February 28, 2021Broadway's 1903 "The Wizard of Oz" Musical Extravaganza! (Part 1)
Send us a text
The time has come, ya'll. Tara and EmKay are BACK and unpacking the wacky, zany, "girls girls girls" extravaganza that was the hit of Broadway: 1903's The Wizard of Oz musical! They deep dive into how this musical came about after L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel, discuss conflict amongst the creative team, do their best to explain the plot (buckle up), and even shamelessly give their best dramatic reading of a scene straight from the script for your enjoyment! It's a hanky panky nightmare you don't want to miss. Stay tuned for Part 2!
