Although set in Kansas, The Wizard of Oz has Chicago connections. In this hour-long, interactive movie talk with Kelli, you'll experience those links through expert commentary, vintage media, and HD video of locations tied to this classic tale.
First, you'll wander through a Chicago-area park that pays tribute to the Tin Man, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Dorothy, and Toto. Then, you’ll follow Chicago's yellow brick road to the spot where author L. Frank Baum penned his children's book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Finally, you'll meander through a lovely cemetery in Bloomington, Illinois, for more Oz stories.
