Dorothy's dream comes true when she, her dog, Toto, and her family's house are transported by a tornado to a bright and magical world unlike anything she has seen before. Unfortunately, she makes a mortal enemy of a wicked witch when the house falls on the hag's sister. Now, befriended by a scarecrow without a brain, a tin man with no heart and a cowardly lion—and protected by a pair of enchanted ruby slippers—Dorothy sets off along a yellow brick road for the Emerald City to beseech the all-powerful Wizard of Oz for his help to return home. Winner of Academy Awards for the classic song, "Over The Rainbow" and for "Best Score," the family classic also received an Oscar nomination for "Best Picture." A special Oscar for "the best juvenile performer of the year" was awarded to Judy Garland. ::: SPONSORS ::: The 2025 Movies on the Common series is brought to you by the Downtown Worcester Business Improvement District, the City of Worcester, and Mass General Brigham, with support from Downtown Boosters: Discover Central Mass, Mercantile Center, Quinsigamond Community College, Worcester Cultural Coalition, and Worcester Regional Airport; and Media Sponsors: WICN, Manny Jae Media, Unity Radio, WCCA TV, Nash Icon, The Pike, WXLO, and Worcester Central Kids Calendar.
