Dana will be performing the part of the Cowardly Lion from June 7th to June 16th!

Anyway, Dana reminded me of the 1996 CBS TV special "The Wizard of Oz on Ice"?
Remember Bobby McFerrin's performance as The Wizard?
Oksana Baiul as Dorothy... but Shanice providing the voice of Dorothy?
And the ruby red ice skates?
Oh dear. It really happened.
Thankfully some of it is on YouTube. Even more thankfully, not all of it is on YouTube.
It starts out with an introduction by someone I don't recognize, but the scroll on the bottom indicates that his name was Senator Bob Dole:

Here are a bunch of videos I found but didn't watch. They may be a Rickroll or something. For your sake, I hope they are.
Here is the "making of" special which sadly never answers the question "why".
Now you should be sufficiently ready for a QUALITY version of this story. Go to the Lyceum Theatre website for tickets and info.

Every time I look at that image of Dana as the Lion, the 5-hour drive to Arrow Rock seems to get shorter and shorter…
