[adaptations-polls]

Which version of this do you prefer?

Note: This is a part 2 poll, mostly meant to feature looser adaptations/reinterpretations of the Oz books. You can find the first part here

Further notes:

The stage version of The Wiz looks like it is currently only licensable for school productions; but the script itself also appears to be separately available, and I believe there is currently a revival running on Broadway

Wicked is apparently licensable in Australia(?) and not elsewhere, but it is still running on Broadway, too

All the movies/shows are available on DVD or streaming

There's also a direct Wizard of Oz stage musical, but there's actually like *four* of them and some of them seem to build off each other to a degree? And multiple versions are licensable. I didn't want to include all four versions (this polls is at the max amount of things I want to include even without any of them) and I am not entirely sure which version is the one that is most commonly revived/considered the main version, so I've just opted to leave it off the poll for now.
