Join Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion for a brand new re-twisted take on the classic children’s story.
An angry orphan escapes a grey town on the back of a hurricane. She lands in a mysterious country of tiny people and wicked witches, where the trees carry bazookas, the crows recite slam poetry, and a mouse can blow your head off.
In just one day, this little girl revolutionizes an entire nation. She brings freedom, and colour. Her name is DOROTHY.
