Yahoo News The Wizard of Oz to get live concert performance
Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore... we're at the London Palladium, for a super-special screening of The Wizard of Oz next year.
The classic 1939 musical is coming to London for a one-off performance on Friday, April 13, 2018.
As well as watching the film in glorious Technicolour, you can hear that memorable score and those classic songs being played by a 60 piece orchestra.
Tickets for the performance, presented by Senbla, are on sale NOW and are priced at £70, £55, £45 and £35.
The company has a history of presenting classic movies with live music in top venues, having previously done the same for Walt Disney's original Jungle Book and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
It also presented a very special mash-up musical show of Game of Thrones with The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.
To get yourselves in the mood for next year's spectacular, you can watch the trailer for The Wizard of Oz below* (*live orchestra not included):
Adapted from L Frank Baum's 1900 children's book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the movie starred Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale, supported by Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Frank Morgan, Billie Burke and Margaret Hamilton.
It was nominated for six Academy Awards, and although it missed out on Best Picture to Gone with the Wind, it won not one but TWO for its music.
Herbert Strohart's music won Best Original Score, and 'Over the Rainbow' won Best Original Song.
The musical numbers had music from by Harold Arlen and lyrics by Yip Harburg.
The film was given a stunning IMAX reissue for its 75th anniversary back in 2014.
