Yellow Brick Road ends at the Schuster

DAYTON, OH (WDTN-WBDT) - Ever wonder why Dorothy, her three faithful companions, the Wicked Witch and the Wizard seem as fresh, real and endearing as the day this magical film hit the theaters in 1939?

Mark it down to the combination of brilliant casting, the advent of color movies, a wonderful script adaptation of a beloved children’s story, a landmark performance from a singer who would go on to make musical history, and, above all, the music and lyrics of Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg.

It was the perfect union of these factors and many others that produced a motion picture that has defined the concept of “timeless.”

If you have children of your own, or grandchildren, or if you just have a child’s sense of wonder, plan to be at the Schuster Center this Friday and Saturday night for this wonderful blend of Hollywood’s best with the live sound of a your own Orchestra.
