Synopsis
The Wizard of Oz
Don A Mueller from L Frank Baum
Published by Samuel French Inc
Large Mixed Cast
Dorothy's familiar journey from Kansas to Oz is highlighted by her meetings with all the beloved characters - the Munchkins, Glinda the Good Witch, the Wicked Witch, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and of course the Cowardly Lion
The charm of this adaptation is its inventiveness - the ruby slippers have a distinct personality, and Dorothy places importance on the meaning of the heart as well as intelligence
This rich and rewarding musical speaks eloquently of hopes, dreams, and friendship
It can be performed either by an all-adult cast or by a cast that is half children
The children also play stage-hands ...
Unseen by the cast, but visible to the audience, they move the slippers, a broom, a haystack, and other set pieces - all the time smiling, tip-toeing, ssshhing each other, and generally having a good time
And the tunes are both catchy and memorable
NB : A Piano/Conductor's Score is available To Rent (only)
This is an easy-to-produce, full-length musical requiring minimal sets
