L. Frank Baum not only adapted his works to film, but he also translated his books to the stage. He developed three Oz musicals in his lifetime: The Wizard of Oz (1902), The Woggle-Bug (1905), and The Tik-Tok Man of Oz (1913). Their respective success varied, but there is no doubt that the musicals had a significant influence on the Oz series going forward. Joined by Oz author and illustrator Eric Shanower, we take a closer look at Oz on stage.
