One year after the great success of The Wizard of Oz , the author L. Frank Baum decided to make his story into a play. So in June 1902, the comedy musical The Wizard of Oz opened at the Majestic Theater in Chicago. It was met with so much praise that another play by the same name opened on Broadway in New York City the following year. This production became one of Broadway's greatest successes, and continued as a road show for the next ten years. In 1939, MGM decided to make a film version of the story.
《绿野仙踪》一书问世之后，大获成功。一年后，作者吕曼·弗兰克·鲍姆决定将其搬上舞台。1902年6月，音乐喜剧《绿野仙踪》在芝加哥大剧院上演，得到好评如潮。于是在接下来的那一年里，这部音乐剧又在纽约百老汇登台亮相。《绿野仙踪》成了百老汇有史以来最为成功的音乐剧之一，并在此后的十年中进行了巡回演出。1939年，米高梅公司决定将其搬上银幕。
The Wizard of Oz was one of the first color movies made. For effect, only the scenes in Oz were filmed in color, while the scenes that took place in Kansas were filmed in black-and-white.
The movie was incredibly successful, and was nominated for six Academy Awards, including"Best Picture". The film was recently declared as "the most favorite movie of the twentieth century" by People Magazine. The fact that it was regularly shown on television many times between 1956 and 1974, meant that it was seen by more people than any other movie in history!
《绿野仙踪》是拍摄最早的彩色电影之一。为了突出效果，只有奥兹国的场景被拍成了彩色，而堪萨斯的场景则是黑白的。
电影获得了难以置信的成功。它曾经获得包括“最佳影片”在内的六项奥斯卡奖提名，最近还被《人物》杂志宣布为“20世纪最受欢迎的电影”。1956到1974年间，这部影片定期在电视上频繁播放，这也意味着它拥有的观众比历史上任何一部电影都要多！
