Recenzii
The diversity of approaches, methodologies, and topics in Adapting 'The Wizard of Oz' makes it an excellent addition to film and musical theater scholarship.
The book as a whole is readable and useful to anyone interest in Oz, the discussed production, or theatre history more broadly.
Editors Danielle Birkett and Dominic McHugh have selected some first rate scholars to write about the many aspects of the book and its various stage and screen versions so that the book is full of fresh and little-known information.
With a variety of approaches represented throughout the volume, Birkett and McHugh's edited volume offers a valuable contribution to the study of musical adaptations. Additionally, the consistent accessibility of the collection and focus on a beloved film and related works makes this appealing for enthusiasts of the genre and The Wizard of Oz.
Birkett and McHugh have put together a package tour of the capacious land of Oz that leaves nothing to be desired. It has heart, brain, and nerve.
Through the wizardry of Birkett and McHugh and their team of scholars, readers of this wide-ranging collection can follow the yellow brick road with both relevant historical commentary and trenchant criticism.
The famed 'Yellow Brick Road' has wound a devious path through U.S. political, social, and economic history from the first musical adaptation of L. Frank Baum's initial novel through Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman's Wicked and beyond. It became a cultural icon and a counter-cultural one by way of the 1939 movie, and this splendid set of essays maps its various twists and turns in search of what might still lie somewhere 'Over the Rainbow'.
It is hard to imagine that academia or popular media could find anything further to reveal in L. Frank Baum's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), zeitgeist-famous since the MGM musical film of 1939 and still today firmly holding its place as an American cultural artefact, purportedly the most watched American film of all time (Schaller 2015). Yet in Adapting The Wizard of Oz: Musical Versions from Baum to MGM and Beyond, edited by Danielle Birkett and Dominic McHugh, the path from book to book-musical and beyond is traced in eleven unique new essays.
