The Muppets' Wizard of Oz recasts the familiar journey to the Emerald City as a musical comedy in which recognizable Muppet personalities play against equally recognizable fairy tale roles. Dorothy's ambition gives the journey a show business dimension as well as the usual search for a way home. The comedy depends on the overlap between character and casting: an audience can recognize the role while also anticipating how a particular performer will disrupt it. Watch how a self contained sketch is fitted into the forward movement of the quest.
