"The Colonial Radio Players have produced an absolutely magical recording....Their adaptation is a lively, full-cast recording enhanced with music and sound effects." (The Boston Globe)

"Superbly performed by Jerry Robbins and The Colonial Radio Players, ... (the) characters of Oz come vividly to life in a true 'theater of the mind' experience for listeners of all ages." (Children's Book Watch)
**********

The Colonial Radio Theatre on the Air has produced six of the OZ books by L. Frank Baum in elaborate radio theatre productions with lush music scores, thousands of sound effects, and a full cast. In THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ, Dorothy is carried by cyclone to the land of Oz where the exciting adventure begins.

Based on the book, and not the classic MGM motion picture, the story takes some twists and turns that might surprise listeners who never read the original novel. After 106 years since it first appeared, THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ has proven itself many times over, to be a true, timeless classic.
