Ted Bulthaup, Owner of Woodridge, Naperville theaters shoots for ultimate experience - DailyHerald.com

“He wanted customers to walk though Dorothy’s living room when they enter ‘The Wizard of Oz’ auditorium in Woodridge, for example, so he built a replica at the door. Through it, you come to a tree that Bulthaup cut down and installed himself. Then there are witch’s legs poking out from under the building, and oodles of other Oz artifacts looking down from the walls.

“Bulthaup also reunited the original Munchkins from ‘The Wizard of Oz’ on several occasions and successfully lobbied for their inclusion on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.”
