Author Finds New Meaning on the Yellow Brick Road as Andrew Lloyd Weber Brings Play to Stage

May 18, 2011 - PRLog -- The Wizard of Oz, now on stage at the London Palladium with famed composer Andrew Lloyd Weber at the helm, has been seen in some rendition by over 2 billion people world-wide and is the favorite family film of all time. Drawing upon the storyline and characters from this charming American fairytale, author John Tamiazzo takes the reader on a magical and transformative journey down the Yellow Brick Road in his new book, Returning to the Land of Oz. If you loved the film, were enchanted by the book, and adored the play, you will be inspired by Dr. Tamiazzo’s new book, which book reviewers have consistently described as, “A must read!”

Following in the footsteps of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and Cowardly Lion, Returning to the Land of Oz takes a fresh and deepened psychological look at the important lessons we can learn from each of the main characters as they make their way on the Yellow  Brick Road. L. Frank Baum gave us one of the greatest resources for personal transformation ever written, and Dr. Tamiazzo tackles this creative project with aplomb.

Returning to the Land of Oz shows you why it is essential to open your heart and to creatively use your mind and imagination to handle life’s challenges. It teaches you the value of helping others in need and to respectfully work together to successfully move beyond obstacles. Like the 1939 film, which was released while the world was still recovering from the devastating effects of the Great Depression, Returning to the Land of Oz draws your attention and focus to 5 key words and themes as today’s economic recovery continues: mind, heart, hope, courage, and imagination.

As Andrew Lloyd Weber re-imagines the Wizard for the stage, so does Dr. Tamiazzo for print, showing you how to gracefully walk down your own Yellow Brick Road, and in the end, discover the Wizard within.

“Drawing fresh insight from the children’s classic, The Wizard of Oz, Returning to the Land of Oz takes readers on a transformative journey down the Yellow Brick Road.”  - Sarah Linn, The Tribune

“Returning to the Land of Oz packs a powerful punch of essential insights and long, sought-after resources between the book’s covers. If readers are yearning for a Superhero to rescue them from their lives, they can draw upon reservoirs of courage by reading this book, which ultimately points them to the only Superhero…the one within themselves.” – Todd Rutherford, the book review guru
