Since Dorothy Gale started her epic journey down the Yellow Brick Road 125 years ago in L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, she’s become a celebrity, a brand, and a beacon for marginalized voices across American culture. It’s Dorothy brings her adventures in Oz to life through the human experiences of star performers, infused with the spirit and influence of Judy Garland and more.
With a chorus of cultural icons, unforgettable music, and a magical remix of archival and cinematic art, this film centers the perspectives of women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ voices. Exploring the meaning and evolution of a cherished character through the eras, we celebrate Dorothy as an enduring symbol of hope and a touchstone in our universal quest to fly over the rainbow and find home again.
Directed by Jeffrey McHale, It’s Dorothy features appearances by Fairuza Balk, Lena Waithe, Margaret Cho, Ashanti, Shanice Shantay, Rufus Wainwright, Danielle Hope, Nichelle Lewis and John Waters.
