‘Wizard of Oz’ sequel to premiere in Kansas

? A film that suggests what might have happened to Dorothy after she returned from Oz will premiere next weekend in Kingman, where it was filmed.

“After the Wizard” was filmed in April of 2010.

Director Hugh Gross says the film includes most of the iconic characters of “The Wizard of Oz.”

The Hutchinson News reported that it tells the story of a 12-year-old girl named Elizabeth who lives in an orphanage in Kingman and has adopted the persona of Dorothy. Things aren’t going well in Oz, and the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Lion travel back to Kansas to reunite with Dorothy.

Gross declined to talk much about the story, but does promise a happy ending. It premieres next Saturday at the Kingman Theater.
