_The Wizard of Oz_ was adapted from the film to a play by John Kane.
There are other examples of this, but as in this one, all those that I
know of were based on books first (though, at least in this case, the play
had the book as a tertiary source), with the exception of _Eating Raoul:
The Musical_ by Paul Bartel.
