- Millions have experienced the timeless tale of THE WIZARD OF OZ, either through the original book by L. Frank Baum, or the classic 1939 film starring Judy Garland. Yet, the new web series, BOURBON WHIZ, offers a modern, more adult take on the childhood favorite. The show stars Marisa Welles as Dotty, a young girl who lives in Prudence, Kansas, a small town where alcohol is sold every day - except Sundays, due to dry county laws. Longing for a stiff drink, not to mention excitement, she and her friends wind up on a wild journey to New Orleans. There, she meets some twisted variations on The Cowardly Lion, The Tin Man, and The Scarecrow. Together, they team up to battle the Wicked Stripper Of The West Bank (played by Jacqueline Fleming) and in search of the mysterious and magical Bourbon Whiz. Leduc describes BOURBON WHIZ as a collision of musical theatre and Bourbon Street. There are many similarities between BOURBON WHIZ and the original WIZARD OF OZ, but the differences are evident. "There's a ruby red G-string instead of ruby slippers, she meets a crackhead who's lost his crack (Palmintier), and a living statue who's looking for motivation (Deejay Buras), and a barker who's looking for a three-for-one sign (played by Leduc), so they end up going to see Bourbon Whiz," says Leduc. Along with original songs, the show also has parodies of the classic songs from the original WIZARD OF OZ. The songs are performed in various styles, from rock to country, blues to techno. BOURBON WHIZ is a show with a lot of 'in your face' sexual humor, one that provides viewers with a uniquely adult twist on a story we've all grown up with.
