Successful musicals based on the Baum novel were created in 1902 (for ) and 1945 (for ), the latter of which, using songs from the popular 1939 film, is still frequently revived. Seeking to more closely recreate the 1939 film on stage, the adapted the film's screenplay, also using the songs from the film, and produced a new version at London's in 1987. This was also a success and has been given many revivals in various formats.
This musical has been touring the U.S. It has become a popular musical for, schools and children's theatres in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Contents. History The Wizard of Oz was first turned into a by L. Frank Baum himself. A loose adaptation of Baum's 1900 novel (there is no Wicked Witch or Toto, and there are some new characters), it first played in in 1902 and was a success on the following year. It then toured for seven years. The bore a closer resemblance to the storyline of Baum's original novel than most previous versions. It was a strong success, won the for best song and best score, and has been frequently broadcast on television.
This was followed, in 1945, by a presented at the (MUNY). The script was adapted by from the novel, but it is influenced in some respects by the motion picture script and uses most of the songs from the film. A new song was added for to sing in the, called 'Evening Star', and the Wizard goes home in a rocket ship instead of a hot air balloon. The MUNY version continues to receive frequent revivals. According to (RSC) director Ian Judge, the company's 1987 adaptation 'came about when Terry Hands, artistic director of the company, asked for a show that could be performed annually over the Christmas season, as a revival of 's play Peter Pan had been previously. Judge obtained the rights to the 1939 film. An additional verse has been put back into the Academy Award-winning song 'Over the Rainbow,' as well as an entire number, 'The Jitterbug,' that was cut from the movie.
Every word of the screenplay has been left in. 'We've just fattened it out a little bit because you need a few more words in the theater than you need in the movies.' ' In 1986, was asked by the company to write the book for the adaptation. This hews even more closely to the film's screenplay than the 1945 MUNY version and attempts to recreate the film's atmosphere and some of its special effects. Synopsis Act One A young girl, Dorothy Gale, lives on a farm in Kansas with her Aunt Em, Uncle Henry and little dog Toto.
Feeling unappreciated, she dreams of a far away place ('Over the Rainbow'). Miss Gulch, their unpleasant neighbor, serves Dorothy with a summons to take Toto away. He escapes from her bicycle basket, and Dorothy runs away from home with him. On the road, they find a showman, Professor Marvel, who urges her to return to the farm. Dorothy arrives home, just as a tornado touches down. She and Toto are locked out of the storm cellar.
In her house, she is accidentally hit on the head by a window. The house is carried by the tornado to the Land of Oz. Dorothy meets the Munchkins and Glinda, the Good Witch of the North (who resembles Aunt Em).
Her house has fallen upon, and killed, the Wicked Witch of the East. This frees the Munchkins from her power, and they treat Dorothy as their heroine ('Come Out, Come Out'; 'Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead'). The Wicked Witch of the West (who resembles Miss Gulch) arrives to claim her sister's magic ruby slippers and vows to avenge her death. Glinda has already put the slippers on Dorothy's feet, further infuriating the witch.
Dorothy wants to go home to Kansas. The Munchkins tell her that the Wizard of Oz will know what to do ('Follow the Yellow Brick Road'). She starts off towards the Emerald City. Dorothy and Toto meet three strange traveling companions, each of whom needs help: The Scarecrow's head is full of straw ('If I Only Had a Brain').
The rusty Tin Man's chest is empty ('If I Only Had a Heart') and the Cowardly Lion is afraid of his own tail ('If I Only Had the Nerve'). Dorothy invites them all to join her to see if the Wizard can help them ('We're Off to See the Wizard'). The Wicked Witch of the West threatens them along the way but fails to intimidate Dorothy into giving up the ruby slippers.
She creates a beautiful field of poppies, but their scent is poisonous. Glinda rescues the travelers by covering the poppies with snowflakes ('Optimistic Voices').
They then finally reach the Emerald City. Act Two The Emerald City's Gatekeeper tries to discourage the travelers, but they are persistent and gain entry ('The Merry Old Land of Oz'). They are washed, combed and buffed, but the Wizard refuses to meet them. The Wicked Witch makes another ominous appearance, and the Lion wishes more than ever for courage ('If I Were King of the Forest'). Finally taken to see the fearsome Wizard, the four friends are given a quest to prove themselves worthy of his assistance: they must bring him the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West, and the only way to do that would be to kill her. The friends leave in fear and haste for the land of the Winkies (whom the Wicked Witch has enslaved and forced to serve in her army) and her castle ('March of the Winkies').
In a haunted forest, the jitterbugs make the travelers dance until they all collapse from exhaustion ('The Jitterbug'). The Wicked Witch's winged monkeys then attack, swooping away with Dorothy and Toto.
But the witch still does not have the power to take the ruby slippers off of Dorothy's feet ('Over the Rainbow' - Reprise). Toto manages to escape and help the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion to find her. They disguise themselves in Winkie uniforms and sneak into the castle.
They find her, but the Wicked Witch foils their escape. She attacks the Scarecrow with fire, and Dorothy throws a bucket of water at him, accidentally dousing the witch. She screams, steams, and melts into nothing ('Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead' - Reprise). The friends take her broom back to the Emerald City.
The Wizard is again reluctant to meet Dorothy and friends. Toto pulls aside the curtain behind which the Wizard is revealed as an ordinary man (who resembles Professor Marvel) using a microphone to make his voice impressive.
Nevertheless, he is able to help the travelers. He conducts a graduation exercise, awarding the Scarecrow with a doctorate of Thinkology; appoints the Lion as a member of the Legion of Courage; and presents the Tin Man with a heart-shaped ticker – a watch. Finally, he reveals that he is from the prairies himself and offers to give Dorothy a ride back to Kansas in the hot-air balloon that brought him to Oz. It takes off while she is distracted, and she is afraid that she missed her chance to go home, but Glinda arrives.
She says that Dorothy has the power to transport herself and Toto by clicking her heels together three times and repeating 'There's no place like home'. Dorothy wakes up in Kansas with a bump on her head. The tornado has passed.
Miss Gulch broke her leg when the storm blew down a telegraph pole – she won't be riding her bicycle any time soon. Dorothy is overjoyed to see her family and friends, whom she appreciates more than ever. Musical numbers.

Format - on request. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - Two full-length versions and an abridged version available. A clever, entertaining and fast paced dramatization based upon the timeless and exciting L. Frank Baum classic adventure story of young Dorothy who finds herself lost in the strange and magical Land of Oz. As few as eight actors (4 women, 4 men) can play the 20 plus principal characters (or as we discovered in premiere - a woman can play the Wizard!
Cast size is easily expandable to 30, 40+ or more. Settings are multiple implied areas (suggestions are in the script). Costumes are 'realistic' for Kansas, but otherwise fantastical.
The full-length version is suitable for all groups from Middle School to professional. For larger groups we highly recommend our EXPANDED CAST VERSION of this Play - this version of The WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ has 40 exciting principal speaking roles, and also offers a number of options to include additional performers in non-speaking roles. The play can be performed quite successfully with a group of 30 or less - suggestions for further expansion and/or consolidation (as needed) are included with the script. Additional characters in the EXPANDED CAST version include - a larger and much more vocal colony of Munchkins, a number of new quite comically inefficient staff members for the Wizard, and a host of new and endearingly bumbling and amusing assistants and apprentices for the Wicked Witch of the West.
The EXPANDED CAST VERSION has been successfully performed numerous times since it first became available in July of 2007 and has been an enormous success for all groups who have utilized it to date. Approximate Playing Time: 70-80 minutes. 'School Play' or abridged version: Are you a Middle School or Junior High who needs a more compact version of this popular play? Our abridged version of this script is available for school groups who prefer a shorter performance time. Can be performed with or without an intermission. Playing time approximately 60 minutes. NOTE: Suggested Playing Times are a maximum estimation based on a full-scale production with musical augmentation, set changes and extensive audience reactions.
Your own playing time may be shorter. General comments on expanding the cast: We are constantly amazed by the many ways creative directors and teachers find to further expand the already generous cast size of this play. It's not at all unusual for school groups to use 30 or 40 or even as many as 70+ performers.
A school in Florida, to cite just one example, added more farmers to the Kansas opening, increased the number of Munchkins, added soldiers and guards in the city of Oz, used an entire field of 'live' poppies, added more assistants for the Witch of the West, and even used dancers! Some groups have double-cast the principals, which is another option, and others have opted to add in a corps of flying monkeys and more 'Wizardly' staff members. The possibilities are endless. We hope you'll share your ideas with us so we can pass them along to others. Professional Touring Groups: We have a version of this script suitable for touring (abbreviated cast size and format). If interested please inquire for details.
(When ordering please specify whether you want the original full-length version, the Expanded Cast version or the abridged 'School Play' version.) There are of course, other variations of this story in 'dramatic' format. Many of these versions call for huge casts, and ambitiously attempt to encompass too many elements of the wonderful story. Rather than allow Dorothy to wander aimlessly through ALL of the many twists and turns in Baum's Oz, this version focuses primarily on the major characters; their hopes, bravery, disappointments, successes, and avoids the confusion of introducing lots of brand new characters for a 'one scene only' effect. Oh, yes, the Munchkins are there, but the flying monkeys are not. In Act II, the Witch is featured more than she was in the MGM film; but this is because the audience loves the Witch! Our witch has two little sidekicks who rival the monkeys for greed, but are not as scary.
This script also portrays Dorothy not so much as a poor little homesick child, but more as a child who is curious about life, and interested in learning about friendship, loyalty and self esteem. It's still the same story, but with a bit more courage, brains and heart! The settings can be as simple or elaborate as budget dictates. The script is designed so that eight actors can play all the roles ('doubling' design is explained in the script), but is also designed so that the cast can easily be expanded to include a greater number of performers if desired. Young Dorothy Gale finds herself whisked away to the magical Land of Oz by a Kansas cyclone. How will she ever find her way home?
Wearing the magic ruby slippers, and under the kindly protection of the Good Witch of the North, Dorothy sets out to ask the Wonderful Wizard for advice. On the way, she finds both adventure and friends; the Cowardly Lion who thinks he needs courage, the Scarecrow who thinks he needs brains, and the sentimental Tin Woodsman who desperately yearns for a warm heart. During her journey Dorothy also encounters a few obstacles, one of which is the dreaded Wicked Witch of the West! The plot thickens when Dorothy and her three friends agree to help the Wizard foil the Witch of West in exchange for brains, courage, a new heart, and a trip home to Kansas. After another long journey and further adventures Dorothy and her friends boldly and bravely succeed in their mission by drawing upon their own resources. In doing so they triumphantly find the courage, the brains, the heart and the home for which they have been searching.
