ACT ONE

Scene 1 • The Kansas Prairie

Before we reach Munchkinland, the first several scenes take place in front of the curtain. A ramp leads from the center aisle of the theater up to the front of the stage extension. The front of the stage shows a small farmhouse on one side with farm items on the other side. In the middle of the stage, against the curtains, is a large translucent panel, which will have images projected onto it from behind, showing the wide-open spaces of the Kansas prairie. A line of telegraph poles stretches into infinity. From the back of the theater, the sound of a small dog barking is the cue for DOROTHY, a small girl in a checked dress, to run breathlessly from the back of the theater, up the center aisle and onto the ramp at the front of the stage extension.

SHE stops stage center and puts a hand to HER chest.

DOROTHY: Oh Jeepers! My heart's thumping so loud I can't hardly breathe.(SHE looks out) Toto.Toto.(SHE sees the dog at the back of the theater and crouches down beckoning to HIM).

DOROTHY: No need to be scared anymore. She isn't following us. I won't let her touch you nohow. Toto!

(TOTO scampers up the center aisle onto the ramp and into HER arms)

DOROTHY: There you go. Did she hurt you? Oh Toto.

(SHE hugs HIM to HER and looks back down the center aisle.)

DOROTHY: She must be the meanest old woman that ever was. (SHE holds HIM and looks into HIS face). Let's go tell Uncle Henry and Auntie Em. They'll take care of her.

(SHE lets TOTO go as AUNT EM and UNCLE HENRY move onto stage from a side tunnel to tend to invisible chicks in an incubator.)

(DOROTHY runs back to AUNT EM and UNCLE. The sound of week old chicks fills the stage. AUNT EM and UNCLE HENRY are transferring the chicks from the incubator to a box with a blanket draped inside it)

DOROTHY: Auntie Em! Auntie Em!

(fhe two adults go on working)

AUNT EM: Fifty-seven, Fifty eight…

DOROTHY: Just listen to what Miss Gultch did to Toto! She-

AUNT EM: Dorothy, please! We're trying to count! Fifty-eight-

DOROTHY: Oh, but Aunt Em, she hit him-

UNCLE HENRY: Don't bother us now honey. You see, this old incubator's bad and we're likely to lose a lot of our chicks.

DOROTHY: Oh,- oh, the poor little things. (SHE reaches into the box and lifts out a chicken which SHE strokes during the next speech). Oh, but Aunt Em, Miss Gultch hit Toto just because she says he gets in her garden and chases her nasty old cat every day!

P a g e | 4

AUNT EM: Seventy. Dorothy, please! We’re busy!

(AUNT EM places the final chickens in HER apron and hu"ies off-stage)

DOROTHY: Uncle Henry. Can't you do something?

UNCLE HENRY: I'm doing something right now honey, so just keep out of our hair.

(UNCLE HENRY lifts up the box and exits after HIS wife. The noise of the chicks fades and is replaced by a squeaking noise)

DOROTHY: Oh --all right.

(DOROTHY turns to see the three farmhands DICKORY (LION), HICKORY (TINMAN) and DOC (SCARECROW) entering shaving a small wagon with three wheels. It contains various items of farm equipment including the remains of a scarecrow. DICKORY propels the fourth wheel along the ground)

HICKORY: Who was the genius that suggested we move the wagon before the wheel was on?

DOC: It's lighter with one wheel less. That makes sense, doesn't it?

HICKORY: Sense or no sense, when I lift up the axle you two shove her on.

(DOROTHY crosses to THEM as HICKORY takes hold of the edge of the wagon and lifts. DICKORY ignores HICKORY's action and studies the wheel with a frown)

DOROTHY: Hickory, Dickory, Doc! Know what Miss Gultch did to Toto? She tried to kill him.

HICKORY: Come on! Get that wheel on here 'fore my arms are pulled clear out their sockets. I ain't made of iron, you know.

DICKORY: Okay, okay.

(DOC takes the axle as DICKORY lifts the wheel into place)

DOROTHY: What am I going to do about Miss Gultch, Doc?

DOC: Now lookit, Dorothy, you're not using your head about Miss Gultch. Ain't you got any brains?

DOROTHY: Sure I have brains!

DOC: Well, why don't you use them? When you come home, don't go thru Miss Gultch's place – then Toto won't get in her garden and you won't get into trouble. See?

(UNCLE HENRY re-enters with the empty box and leans it against the side of the incubator)

UNCLE HENRY: Quit just standing there and clear that junk outta the wagon. We got a parcel of lumber to haul from town before the weather turns nasty.

DOC: Will do, Mr. Gale.

(DOC turns back to the wagon where HE joins HICKORY already starting to empty it. DICKORY crosses to DOROTHY wiping the axle grease from HIS hands)

DOROTHY: Dickory, what am I going to do?

P a g e | 5

DICKORY: Well for a start, Kid, don't let that old Gultch heifer try and buffalo you. She ain't nothing to be afraid of. You got to stand up to her, that's all, with a little courage.

(Behind DOROTHY. HICKORY has unearthed a large metal funnel and DOC holds the ruined scarecrow. The scarecrow head is a bag painted with a face wearing a scary smile. A small cross-piece supports the rags of an ancient garment)

DOROTHY: I'm not afraid of her.

DICKORY: That's what I wanted to hear. Walk with your head up, your chest out and the next time she squawks, you just stroll right up to her and give her the "evil eye". (HE opens one of his eyes really wide with a tough but silly look on his face.) That's what I'd do. Here, you try it. (DOROTHY tries the "evil eye", making a face that's more silly than scary).

DOROTHY: Should I really? (continuing to make the "evil eye").

(Unseen behind DOROTHY & DICKORY, DOC and HICKORY approach on tip-toe)

DICKORY: Sure you should. Through this Life you gotta walk tall, then you got no reason to be scared of nothing and nobody (THEY BOTH continue making the "evil eye").

(AUNT EM enters with a plate of cookies)

AUNT EM:: Here, here, what’s all this jabber-wapping when there's work to be done?

HICKORY: Well, we were just having a little fun, Mrs.Gale.

AUNT EM: A farm's no place for fun. You want fun, go join a circus.

HICKORY: Might just do that. (HE.flexes HIS muscles) Be a Strong Man...see the world.

AUNT EM: Well, don't start posing for it now. Here. (SHE hold out the plate) Can't work on an empty stomach. Have some cookies.

DOC: Gosh, Mrs.Gale… Thin Mints!

HICKORY: Thanks.

DOC: Swell. (DOC, HICKORY. and DICKORY all sit down, .smiling and eating cookies.)

AUNT EM: You don't have to sit down to eat them.

(ALL THREE jump to THE!Rfeet at the .same time in alarm).

AUNT EM: Get that wagon hitched up and Dickory you go feed those hogs.

DICKORY: Yes, Ma'am.

(DICKORY goes off in one direction while DOC and HICKORY wheel the wagon off the way it came. AUNT EM starts to exit. DOROTHY starts after HER)

DOROTHY: Auntie Em, really—do you know what Miss Gultch said she was going to do to Toto? She said she was going to -

AUNT EM: Dorothy, dear, stop imagining things. You always get yourself into a fret over nothing.

DOROTHY: But…

P a g e | 6

AUNT EM: Now, you just help us out today and find yourself a place where you won't get into any trouble.

(AUNT EM exits leaving DOROTHY and TOTO alone on the stage)

ACT ONE • SCENE 2 • THE RAINBOW

DOROTHY: Some place where there isn't any trouble.

DOROTHY crosses to the farm rake by the picket fence and gazes into the distance.

DOROTHY: I wonder if there is such a place, Toto? There must be.

(DOROTHY places TOTO on the seat of the rake. Introduction music for the next number starts)

Not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far away…behind the moon…beyond the rain…over the rainbow…

(SHE sings)

"RAINBOW CONNECTION”

Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide. So we've been told and some choose to believe it. I know they're wrong, wait and see. Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me. Who said that every wish would be heard and answered when wished on the morning star? Somebody thought of that and someone believed it. Look what it's done so far. What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing and what do we think we might see? Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me. All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic. Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name. Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors. The voice might be one and the same. I've heard it too many times to ignore it.

P a g e | 7

It's something that I'm supposed to be. Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me.

ACT ONE • SCENE 3 • KANSAS

MISS GULTCH astride HER trusty bicycle rides up the center aisle of the theater, screeching about "That little dog". SHE rides up the ramp on-stage and circles, peering out into the audience intently. SHE is looking for culprits. SHE suddenly spots UNCLE HENRY off-stage and screeches to a halt.

MISS GULTCH: Henry, Gale. Is that you skulking by the bam?

(UNCLE HENRY enters)

UNCLE HENRY: I don't know what that is, but I'm pretty sure I've never skulked in my life. (MISS GULTCH dismounts and leans HER bicycle against the picket fence and walks over to UNCLE HENRY)

MISS GULTCH: I want to see you and your wife right away. About Dorothy.

UNCLE HENRY: Dorothy? Why, what has Dorothy done?

MISS GULTCH: What's she done? I'm all but lame from the bite on my leg!

UNCLE HENRY: You mean she bit you?

MISS GULTCH: No, her doq!

UNCLE HENRY: Oh, she bit her dog, eh?

(MISS GULTCH: gives HIM a beady look while AUNT EM: calls off)

AUNT EM: Dorothy could you bring Toto out here a minute? (SHE turns back to MISS GULTCH) I'm sure if Dorothy's upset you in any way she'll be only too glad to apologize.

MISS GULTCH: It's gone beyond apologies, Mrs. Gale. I have laid an official complaint with the County Sheriff.

( DOROTHY enters with TOTO)

MISS GULTCH: That dog's a menace to the community.

DOROTHY: That's not true.

MISS GULTCH: As an act of public service, young woman, I'm taking that dog to the Sheriff and make sure he's destroyed.

DOROTHY: Destroyed? Toto? Oh, you can't! Uncle Henry! Auntie Em! You won't let her will you?

UNCLE HENRY: Of course, we won't. Will we Em?

(AUNT EM· says nothing)

DOROTHY: Oh, please, Aunt Em! Toto didn't mean to. He didn't know he was doing anything wrong. I'm the one that ought to be punished.

P a g e | 8

AUNT EM: Hear how sorry the child is? Surely if she promises to stay away from your place…

MISS GULTCH: If you don't hand the dog over now, I'll bring a lawsuit that'll take away your whole farm! There's a law protecting folks against dogs that bite!

AUNT EM: How would it be if she keeps him tied up? He's really gentle --with gentle folk that is.

MISS GULTCH: Well, that's for the Sheriff to decide.(SHE produces a document which SHE hands to UNCLE HENRY) Here's his order allowing me to take him.

UNCLE HENRY: (HE studies the document) Uh-my my- (he shakes his head).

AUNT EM: What's it say·, Henry?

UNCLE HENRY: Just what she says. You gotta hand him over, Dorothy.

DOROTHY: No! I won't let you take him.

(DICKORY, attracted by DOROTHY's cries, enters carrying the hog pail)

AUNT EM: We can't go against the law, Dorothy. I'm afraid poor Toto will have to go.

DOROTHY: No! Oh you wicked old witch! Uncle Henry, Auntie Em, don't let her take Toto! Please!

UNCLE HENRY: Let me have him, Dorothy.

DOROTHY: Oh please, please...

(UNCLE HENRY gently takes TOTO from HER. HICKORY tries to comfort HER but SHE breaks away from HIM sobbing angrily)

AUNT EM: Tie him to the bicycle, Henry.

AUNT EM: Almira Gultch, for twenty-three years I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you! And now... Well, this being a family show, I can't say it!

UNCLE HENRY: Well I can. So if you don't want to hear it, you better pedal your carcass offa my land.

MISS GULTCH: I don't take kindly to that kind of talk, Henry Gale. (SHE climbs aboard HER cycle). Just you remember, I have friends in high places. (SHE starts to pedal off with dignity).

UNCLE HENRY: Then why don't you climb on your broomstick and go visit 'em.

(MISS GULTCH looks back angrily, loses HER balance and wobbles off down the center aisle, nearly crashing. DICKORY and DOC hoot with laughter. UNCLE HENRY turns on THEM)

AUNT EM: (To DOROTHY) Come inside honey.

DOROTHY: I'm not going anywhere with you. (SHE breaks away angrily) If you really loved me, you wouldn't have let Toto go.

AUNT EM: She had an order from the sheriff, Dorothy. What did you expect us to do? Wave a wand and make it disappear?

P a g e | 9

DOROTHY: You still could've tried at least. I never want to see any of you again, ever, ever, ever.

(They all leave sadly)

DOROTHY: Toto was the only friend I had in the world. Now I have no-one to talk to, no-one to play with. And I'll never see him again as long as I live.

(Barking is heard from the back of the theatre. DOROTHY looks round)

DOROTHY: Toto?

(Toto scampers onstage. SHE catches HIM and hugs HIM to HER)

Toto, Oh, you came back! You got away from that horrible woman! (SHE looks anxiously down the center aisle). Oh no, I see her coming now! We've got to get away! We need to get far away from here. And we're never, ever comin' back.

(DOROTHY hugs TOTO to HER and exits through a side tunnel.)

ACT ONE • SCENE 4 • THE PROFESSOR

The stage lights go dark. The PROFESSOR and his huge painted trunk on wheels are brought to the front of the stage, along with a small campfire with a pot heating on the fire. The lettering on the trunk reads..."Professor Marvel acclaimed by the crowned heads of Europe. Let him read in his Crystal your Past, Present and Future. Also Juggling and Sleight-of-Hand"

The PROFESSOR is squatting next to the pot, in which there is what looks like a wooden spoon. HE hums softly to himself as he stirs the pot.

PROFESSOR:) Ah, fine cooking cannot be rushed… But I believe this "Ballpark" has plumped to perfection!(HE then looks out to the center aisle and sees TOTO and DOROTHY as they rush onto stage from the center aisle with a basket covered with a small checkered cloth)

PROFESSOR: Well, well, well! House guests, huh? Ha ha ha hal

(DOROTHY approaches shyly as TOTO begins sniffing around)

PROFESSOR: And who might you be? No, no, now don't tell me.(HE covers HIS eyes with HIS hands) You're... you're travelling in disguise. No, that's not right... You're... you're going on a visit. No, I'm wrong. You're... you're running away.

DOROTHY: How did you guess?

PROFESSOR: Ha ha! Professor Marvel never guesses. He knows! Ha ha! Now, why are you running away?

DOROTHY: Why...

PROFESSOR: No, no, now don't tell me. They--- they don't understand you at home. They don't appreciate you.

DOROTHY: Why, it's just like you could read what was inside of me.

P a g e | 10

PROFESSOR: It is my trade, my calling. See what it says on the side of my Prius.

(HE gestures with one hand allowing the stick with the hotdog to droop dangerously near TOTO who suddenly snatches it)

DOROTHY: Oh please, Professor, why can't we go with you and see all the Crowned Heads of Europe?

PROFESSOR: Do you know any? Oh, you mean the thing... Yes. Well, I...I never do anything without consulting my crystal first. Here, sit right down here.

(PROFESSOR rises and upturns a bucket setting it down. DOROTHY sits and HE takes the basket from HER, reaches into the trunk and brings out a small turban and puts it on)

PROFESSOR: Ha ha! Just make yourself comfortable while I conjure out of the air, out of thin air...(HE reaches behind HER head and produces a small crystal ball. DOROTHY gasps) ...this very same genuine, magic, authentic crystal used by the priests of lsis and Osiris in the days of the Pharaohs of Egypt. Now then, hold out your hands to help me look into the future.

(SHE does so and HE places the crystal on THEM)

Now, you...you'd better close your eyes, my child, for a moment...in order to be better in tune with the infinite. ·

(DOROTHY closes HER eyes. The PROFESSOR dips into DOROTHY's basket)

We...we can't do these things without reaching out into the infinite. (HE studies a photograph in a silver frame). Yes, that's...that's all right.(HE replaces the photograph in the basket). Now you can open them (SHE does so) We'll gaze into the crystal. Ah, what's this I see? A house...with a picket fence.

DOROTHY: That's our farm!

PROFESSOR: Oh, yes. There's a woman. She's wearing a pink polka-dot dress. Her face is careworn.

DOROTHY: That's Aunt Em. What's she doing? And how do you know that? We’re in black & white!

(THEY START SPEAKING FASTER)

PROFESSOR: Well, I...I can't quite see. Why, she's crying.

DOROTHY: Oh.

PROFESSOR: Someone has broken her heart.

DOROTHY: Why would anyone do that?

PROFESSOR: I don't know but it's...it's someone she loves very much: someone she's been very kind to, someone she's taken care of in sickness.

DOROTHY: I had the measles once...and she stayed right by me every minute.

PROFESSOR: Uh-huh. And why are we talking so fast?

DOROTHY: We’re trying to get to the color part!

P a g e | 11

PROFESSOR: Ah, right!

DOROTHY: But she doesn't care about me at all now.

PROFESSOR: Oh well that's... that's not what the crystal says.

DOROTHY: They were going to kill Toto and she did nothing to stop them.

PROFESSOR: I don't see any of that in the crystal. All I see is a woman who does the best she can and misses you something terrible.

DOROTHY: What's she doing now?

PROFESSOR: Yes, she's ... what's this? Why, she's ... she's putting her hand on her heart! She's ... she's dropping down on the bed!

DOROTHY: No! What's wrong with her?

PROFESSOR: That I can't say. The crystal's gone dark.

DOROTHY: Oh, you.... you don't suppose she could really be sick, do you? (SHE stands) Oh! I've got to go home right away!

(The stage begins to darken. The sound of the wind rises. PROFESSOR MARVEL removes HIS turban)

PROFESSOR: But, what's this? I thought you were going along with me!

DOROTHY: Oh, no! No, I have to get to her right away! Come on, Toto! Come on! (SHE snatches up HER basket and SHE and TOTO run down the center aisle) Goodbye, Professor Marvel, and thanks a lot!

PROFESSOR: Good-bye! Safe journey! (HE looks about HIM and then turns up HIS jacket lapels shivering) Better get under cover. There's a storm blowin'...it's a whopper!

SCENE 5 • THE TWISTER – CUT

SONG: “I FEEL THE EARTH MOVE”

I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down I feel my heart start to trembling Whenever you're around Ooh, baby, when I see your face Mellow as the month of May Oh, darling, I can't stand it When you look at me that way I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down I feel my heart start to trembling Whenever you're around

P a g e | 12

Oh, darling, when you're near me And you tenderly call my name I know that my emotions Are something I just can't tame I've just got to have you, baby I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down I just lose control Down to my very soul I get a hot and cold all over I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down, Tumbling down, tumbling down...

ACT ONE • SCENE 6 • MUNCHKINLAND

A single light shines on the farmhouse. The door opens slowly and DOROTHY and TOTO, looks out. SHE tests the ground with HER foot. As SHE moves forward, the lights come up on-stage and we discover the vividly colorful Munchkin Civic Center in the Land of Oz. SHE looks about HER • the scene is enchanting

DOROTHY: Toto- I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. (SHE moves center stage)

DOROTHY: We must be over the rainbow! Or maybe we’re dreaming!

SONG - SWEET DREAMS (Glinda and Munchkins)

Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree I travel the world and the seven seas Everybody's looking for something Some of them want to use you Some of them want to get used by you Some of them want to abuse you Some of them want to be abused Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree I travel the world and the seven seas Everybody's looking for something Hold your head up, keep your head up, movin' on Hold your head up, movin' on, keep your head up, movin' on

DOROTHY: Now I… I know we're not in Kansas.

GLINDA: Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?

DOROTHY: Who, me? I – I'm not a witch at all. I'm Dorothy Gale, from Kansas.

GLINDA: Well, I'm a little muddled. The Munchkins called me because a new witch has just dropped a house on the Wicked Witch of the East, and there's the house, and here you are, and those legs are all that's left of the Wicked Witch of the East.

GLINDA: And so, what the Munchkins want to know is, are you a good witch or a bad witch?

DOROTHY: But I've already told you, I'm not a witch at all. And—if you please, what are Munchkins?

(Munchinks giggle)

P a g e | 14

GLINDA: The little people who live in this land. And you are their national heroine, my dear. It's all right, you may all come out and thank her.

SONG - LOLLIPOP (Munchkins)

MAYOR: I’m happy to present to you the key to our city! Friends, this is a day of independence for all the Munchkins and their descendants. Let the joyous news be spread. The wicked old witch at last is dead! DING DONG!

MUNCHKINS: THE WITCH IS DEAD

(In the midst of the rejoicing, there is a sudden explosion. Music segues)

ACT ONE • SCENE 7 • WICKED WITCH

Explosion and there appears in THEIR midst the WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST, clutching HER broomstick The MUNCHKINS draw back in alarm. The WITCH circles THEM grinning wickedly and widening the space SHE has about HER.

SONG - EVIL WOMAN (Wicked Witch and Ensemble)

You made a fool of me, but them broken dreams have got to end. Hey woman, you got the blues, cos' you ain't got no one else to use. There's an open road that leads nowhere, so just make some miles between here and there. There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in, You took my body and played to win, Ha Ha woman it's a crying shame, But you ain't got no one else to blame. [CHORUS] E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, Evil Woman Rolled in from another town, Hit some gold too hot to settle down, But a fool and his money soon go separate ways,

P a g e | 15

And you found a fool lyin' in a daze, Ha Ha woman what you gonna do, You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you, It's so good that you're feeling pain, But you better get yourself on board the very next train. [CHORUS:REPEAT] Evil woman how you done me wrong, But now you're tryin' to wail a different song, Ha Ha funny how you broke me up, you made the wine now you drink the cup, I came runnin' every time you cried, Thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes, Ha Ha very nice to know, that you ain't got no place left to go. [CHORUS:REPEAT]

DOROTHY: I thought you said she was dead.

GLINDA: That was her sister, the Wicked Witch of the East. This is the Wicked Witch of the West. And she's worse than the other one was.

(The WEST WITCH suddenly points HER broomstick at GUNDA)

WEST WITCH: What happened to my sister?

GLINDA: Yonder she lies. (GLiNDA points with HER wand)

(The WEST WITCH approaches the house and suddenly sees the legs and the ruby slippers. SHE screams in anguish. Music out)

WEST WITCH: Aargh!

(DOROTHY steps back in alarm. Some of the MUNCHKINS, equally afraid, crowd round HER It is at this moment that DOROTHY's shoes are .substituted by the ruby slippers)

GLINDA: You recognize her then.

WEST WITCH: Of course I recognize her. Who else would wear ruby slippers with those socks? (A thought occurs and SHE brightens) The Ruby Slippers!

WEST WITCH: The ruby slippers! They're gone! The slippers! (SHE looks at DOROTHY) Give them back to me!

GLINDA: It's too late! There they are, and there they'll stay!

(The WEST WITCH advances across the stage towards DOROTHY. trying to hypnotize her.)

WEST WITCH: Give me back those slippers! I'm the only one that knows how to use them.

(DOROTHY seems on the point of obeying HER when GLINDA brings HER wand down between DOROTHY and the WITCH and breaks the spell)

P a g e | 16

GLINDA: Take care of those slippers. Their magic is very powerful.

WEST WITCH: You stay out of this, Glinda, or I'll fix you as well!

GLINDA: Oh, fiddle-faddle!. Be gone, before somebody drops a house on you, too!

WEST WITCH: Very well, (SHE points at DOROTHY and turns on HER) But I'll get you eventually, my pretty… And your little dog, too!

GLINDA: I'm afraid you've made rather a bad enemy of the Wicked Witch of the West. The sooner you get out of Oz altogether, the safer you'll sleep, my dear.

DOROTHY: Oh, I'd give anything to get out of Oz. But – which is the way back to Kansas? I can't go the way I came.

GLINDA: No, that's true. The only person who might know would be the great and wonderful Wizard of Oz!

DOROTHY: The Wizard of Oz?

GLINDA: The Wizard lives in the Emerald City—a long journey from here

DOROTHY: But- how do I start for the Emerald City?

GLINDA: Just follow the Yellow Brick Road. And remember, never let those ruby slippers off your feet, or you will be at the mercy of the Wicked Witch of the West.

DOROTHY: But- what happens if l-

GLINDA: Just follow the Yellow Brick Road.

MAYOR: Follow the Yellow Brick Road.

MUNCHKINS: Follow the Yellow Brick Road!

SONG – “HIT THE ROAD JACK” (Dorothy and the Munchkins)

(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.) (Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.) What you say? (Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.) (Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.) Woah Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean, You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen. I guess if you said so I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right) (Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.) (Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.) What you say? (Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.) (Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)

P a g e | 17

Now baby, listen baby, don't ya treat me this-a way Cause I'll be back on my feet some day. (Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood) (you ain't got no money you just ain't no good.) Well, I guess if you say so I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right) (Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.) (Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.) What you say? (Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.) (Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.)

ACT I • SCENE 8 • SCARECROW- THE CORNFIELD

The lights come up on stage revealing a crossroads on the Yellow Brick Road A picket fence on one side of the road surrounds a cornfield. High on a pole in the middle of the field is a scarecrow. DOROTHY walks down the road past the scarecrow and stops at the crossroads. Music out.

DOROTHY: Follow the Yellow Brick Road? Follow the Yellow Brick…? (SHE looks about

HER) Well now, which way do we qo?

(Behind HER the SCARECROW points to the left)

SCARECROW: Pardon me. That way is a very nice way. (HE freezes in that position as

DOROTHY turns)

DOROTHY: Who said that? (SHE looks about HER. TOTO barks)

SCARECROW: It's pleasant down that way, too.

(DOROTHY turns back to the SCARECROW)

P a g e | 18

DOROTHY: That's funny. Wasn't he pointing the other way?

SCARECROW: Of course, people do go both ways! (HE crosses HIS arms and points in both directions).

DOROTHY: Why, you did say something, didn't you? (SCARECROW crosses and recrosses his arms) Are you doing that on purpose, or can't you make up your mind?

SCARECROW: I haven't got a brain, only straw. So I ain't got a mind to make up.

DOROTHY: Well, how can you talk if you haven't got a brain?

SCARECROW: I don't know. But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't they?

DOROTHY: Yes, I guess you're right. (SHE climbs over the fence and approaches HIM) Can I help you get down?

SCARECROW: Well, of course, I'm not very bright about doing things, but if you'll just bend the nail down in back maybe I'll slip off.

DOROTHY: I'll certainly try. (SHE reaches up behind the pole)

(Suddenly SHE moves back holding a bent nail. The SCARECROW slips to the ground Music out as HIS feet hit floor. HE staggers forward, trips over the fence and lands on the ground spilling a vast amount of straw out of HIS open front)

SCARECROW: My! It's good to be free!(HIS legs buckle under HIM. HE whirls round and falls back against the fence)

DOROTHY: Oh! Ohhh!

(The SCARECROW sits up as DOROTHY crouches beside HIM}

SCARECROW: Did I scare you?

DOROTHY: No, no. I – I just thought you hurt yourself.

SCARECROW: Oh, stuffin’. I didn’t think so.

ACT ONE • SCENE 9 • CROWS IN CORNFIELD

Three CROWS enter and start eating corn.

SCARECROW: You see. I can't even scare a crow.

THIRD CROW: Howdy Neighbor!

SCARECROW: They come from miles around just to eat in my field.

FIRST CROW: Howdy, Scarecrow. Caw, caw! (Like a laugh—ha,ha!)

SCARECROW: And laugh in my face.

SONG: SITTIN’ ON A BLOCK OF HAY (Scarecrow, Dorothy and Crows)

P a g e | 19

Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' when the evening comes Watching the crows fly in Then I watch them fly away again, yeah I'm sittin' on this block of hay Watchin' the sky far away, ooh I'm just sittin' on block of hay Wastin' time I left my home in Kansas Headed for the Frisco Bay Cuz I've had nothing to live for And look like nothing's gonna come my way So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Looks like nothing's gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same, listen Sittin' here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen Two thousand miles I roam Just to make this dock my home, now I'm just gon' sit at the dock of a bay Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time

DOROTHY: That was wonderful. But I’m afraid I have no time to waste. I’m trying to get back home to Kansas. And I want to get back there so badly, I'm going all the way to Emerald City to get the Wizard of Oz to help me.

SCARECROW: You're going to see a Wizard?

DOROTHY: Uh-huh

SCARECROW: Do you think if l went with you this Wizard would give me some brains?

DOROTHY: Why, sure, I bet he would! But maybe you'd better not. I've got a Witch mad at me, and you might get into trouble.

P a g e | 20

SCARECROW: I'm not afraid of a Witch! Won't you take me with you?

DOROTHY: Of course I will!

SCARECROW: Hooray!

CROWS: Caw!

SCARECROW: I'm going to get me a brain! Let's go.

CROWS: Caw!

(SCARECROW takes a few steps when HIS legs collapse again and SHE has to dart forward to catch HIM)

DOROTHY: You're not starting out very well.

SCARECROW: Oh, I'll try! Really, l will. All I need is a friend to help me along the way.

SONG: “YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND IN ME”

You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me When the road looks rough ahead And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed You just remember what your old pal said Boy you've got a friend in me Yeah you've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me You got troubles and I got 'em too There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you We stick together, we can see it through 'Cause you've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am Bigger and stronger too Maybe But none of them Will ever love you the way I do It's me and you boy And as the years go by Our friendship will never die You're gonna see it's our destiny You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me

P a g e | 21

SECOND CROW: Goodbye Scarecrow!

FIRST CROW: I'm going to miss that old haybag.

SECOND CROW: I second that.

THIRD CROW: I never cared for him.

FIRST CROW: How's that?

THIRD CROW: Too much of a stuffed shirt.

(Hooting with laughter, the three CROWS lope off )

ACT ONE • SCENE 10 • TINMAN -WITH APPLE TREES IN FRONT OF HIS COTTAGE

During the light change, the stage now has three large apple trees come center stage laden with bright red apples. The TINMAN standing in front of HIS ruined cottage is hidden behind them. DOROTHY. TOTO and the SCARECROW enter in conversation. Music fades out.

DOROTHY: What are we going to do? I’m getting so hungry!

SCARECROW: I don't need to eat. (Suddenly worried) Does that mean I'm not alive?

DOROTHY: Oh, no, Scarecrow. You're the liveliest friend I ever had.

DOROTHY: Oh, look Scarecrow, apples!

SCARECROW: Apples, What apples?

DOROTHY: In the trees.

(SHE runs forward and picks an apple from a low branch. The tree takes the apple back and slaps HER wrist)

DOROTHY: Ouch!

FIRST TREE: What do you think you're doing?

DOROTHY: We've been walking a long ways and I was hungry and—did you say something?

(The FIRST TREE gestures to the other two)

FIRST TREE: She was hungry!

SECOND TREE: She was hungry!

THIRD TREE: How would you like to have someone come along and pick something off of you?

DOROTHY: I'm sorry! I keep forgetting I'm not in Kansas.

SCARECROW: Come along, Dorothy- You don't want any of those apples. Yuk!

FIRST TREE: Are you hinting my apples aren't what they ought to be?

SCARECROW: Oh, no! It's just that she doesn't like little green worms!

FIRST TREE: Worms! (To the other TREES) Did he say we had worms?

P a g e | 22

SECOND TREE: That's what it sounded like to me.

SCARECROW: (Whispered to DOROTHY) I'll show you how to get apples. (Louder) Sure you got worms—worms, caterpillars and probably a whole bunch of wood lice too.

THIRD TREE: How dare you! Let's give it to him!

(THEY throw handfuls of apples at the SCARECROW)

FIRST TREE: Take that, and that.

SECOND TREE: Put your limb into it, guys!

SCARECROW: Look out Dorothy! (HE runs about the stage collecting the apples)

THIRD TREE: How do you like them apples?

SCARECROW: We like them just fine. (HE approaches DOROTHY with a handful)

FIRST TREE: I think we've been twigged (sounds like "tricked").

SECOND TREE: They've made saps of us all.

THIRD TREE: I think it's time we boughed out.

(The three TREES move away upstage and turn THEIR hacks on the proceedings. THEIR movement reveals the TINMAN, motionlessly holding an axe raised, in front of HIS ruined cottage. DOROTHY starts forward. HE is covered in rust)

DOROTHY: Why, It's a man! A man made out of tin!

SCARECROW: What?

DOROTHY: Yes. Oh -look!

(THEY both examine HIM closely. Through rusted jaws, HE speaks)

TINMAN: Oil can! Oil can!

DOROTHY: Did you say something?

TINMAN: Oil can!

DOROTHY: He said oil can.

SCARECROW: Oil can what?

DOROTHY: Oil can? (SHE looks around for it and eventually sees it on the ground. SHE picks it up)

TINMAN: Ahh.

DOROTHY: Here it is. Where do you want to be oiled first?

TINMAN: My mouth- my mouth!

SCARECROW: He said his mouth! The other side!

DOROTHY: Yes- there.

TINMAN: M- m- my, my goodness.I can talk again!

P a g e | 23

DOROTHY: Oh! How did you ever get like this?

TINMAN: Well, when I was flesh and blood like you, I fell in love with a Munchkin maiden whose mother hated me. So to stop me from marrying her daughter, she hired the Wicked Witch of the West to put an evil spell on my axe. When I tried to chop down a tree it chopped off my leg instead.

DOROTHY: That's terrible.

TINMAN: But by good fortune I knew of a wonderful tinsmith and he made me a new leg almost as good as the old one. So back I went to work, but I swung my axe again and dang if it didn't take off the other leg.

SCARECROW: You shoulda got a new axe.

TINMAN: I guess you're right. But I got a new leg instead. And back I went to work. I kept trying until I’d chopped off all my limbs and split myself right down the middle! So the tinsmith gave me a new head and body but on the way home I got caught in a terrible rainstorm and rusted solid.

SCARECROW: It just wasn't your day, was it?

TINMAN: But that’s not the worst of it. Listen!

(TINMAN bangs on his chest, a gong sound is heard.)

SCARECROW: Beautiful! What an echo!

TINMAN: It's empty. The tinsmith forgot to give me a heart.

DOROTHY & SCARECROW: No heart!

TINMAN: No heart! All hollow. And as long as I have no heart, I can never love my Munchkin maiden. (HE gulps and starts to cry)

DOROTHY: Oh, please don't cry, Tinman. You'll rust again.

SONG: TOTALLY MISSING A HEART (Tinman, Trees)

(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit rusty with no oil can around (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit tired Of wishing for that beating sound (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit nervous That the best of all the years have gone by

P a g e | 24

(Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but I will only rust if I cry (Turn Around, Tinman) Every now and then I fall apart (Turn Around, Tinman) Every now and then I fall apart (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit restless And I dream of something wild (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit helpless And I'm frozen like a gnome on your lawn (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit angry And tears start to leak from my eyes (Turn around) Every now and then I get a little bit terrified But I will only rust if I cry (Turn Around, Tinman) Every now and then I fall apart (Turn around, Tinman) Every now and then I fall apart And I need a heart tonight And I need it more than ever And if you’ll only hear my plight Won’t be a heartless can forever And we'll only be making it right 'Cause we'll never be wrong Together we can take it down the yellow brick line This axe is like a shadow on me all of the time

P a g e | 25

(All of the time) I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark My axe has caused some damage and it’s giving off sparks I need a heart tonight A heart really would be nice (A heart really would be nice) Once upon a time I was in munchkin love But now I'm only falling apart There's nothing I can do I’m totally missing a heart Once upon a time there was light in my life But now there's only rust in the dark Nothing I can say I’m totally missing a heart [Instrumental Interlude] (Turn Around, Tinman) Every now and then I fall apart (Turn Around, Tinman) Every now and then I fall apart And I need a heart tonight And I need it more than ever And if you’ll only hear my plight Won’t be a heartless can forever And we'll only be making it right 'Cause we'll never be wrong Together we can take it down the yellow brick line This axe is like a shadow on me all of the time (All of the time) I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark My axe has caused some damage and it’s giving off sparks I need a heart tonight

P a g e | 26

A heart really would be nice (A heart really would be nice) Once upon a time I was I was in munchkin love But now I'm only falling apart There's nothing I can do I’m totally missing a heart Once upon a time there was light in my life But now there's only rust in the dark Nothing I can say I’m totally missing a heart I’m totally missing a heart I’m totally missing a heart (Turn Around, Tinman) (Turn Around, Tinman) (Turn around)

DOROTHY: Why don't you come with us to the Emerald City and ask the Wizard of Oz for a heart?

TINMAN: Suppose the Wizard wouldn't give me one when we got there?

DOROTHY: Oh, but he will! He must! We've come such a long way already.

ACT ONE • SCENE 11 • WANT TO PLAY BALL?

(There is a sudden explosion and cloud of .smoke. There stands the WITCH.)

WITCH: You call that long? Why, you've only just begun!

TINMAN: You! You're the one who put the spell on my axe.

WITCH: It certainly chopped you down to size, didn't it! And now you're helping the little lady along, are you? (With sudden vehemence) Well, stay away from her or I'll stuff a mattress with you, Scarecrow. And you Tinman! I'll use you for a cheese grater!

SCARECROW: I'm not afraid of you!

WITCH: That just proves you don't have a brain. Allow me to educate you. (SHE gestures in the air) Here, Scarecrow! Want to play ball? (SHE tosses a "fireball" at HIM- not real fire, this will be worked out later)

SCARECROW: Oh! (With a shriek of laughter, SHE throws another. It seems to strike HIM and HIS chest begins to emit smoke) Oh! Look out! Oh, I'm on fire! Fire! Help! (HE falls to the ground as TINMAN thumps HIS chest and puts out the fire)

P a g e | 27

WITCH: Just remember Scarecrow, helping that girl reach the Emerald City could be your last burning ambition.

(There is another explosion as the WITCH vanishes Music out with HER exit. DOROTHY and the TINMAN help the SCARECROW to HIS feet)

SCARECROW: I'm still not scared of her. I'll see you get safely to the Wizard now, whether I get a brain or not! Stuff a mattress with me - Hah!

TINMAN: I'll see you reach the Wizard, whether I get a heart or not. Cheese grater, - bah! Let her try and make a cheese grater out of me!

DOROTHY: Oh, you're the best friends anybody ever had. And it's funny ...but I feel as if I’ve known you all the time. But I couldn't have, could I?

SCARECROW: I don't see how. Well, it really doesn't matter. We know each other now, don't we?

SCARECROW: That's right.

TINMAN: We do.

SCARECROW: To Oz?

TINMAN: To Oz!

SONG: "On the Road Again" (DOROTHY-TINMAN-SCARECROW)

On the road again - Just can't wait to get on the road again. The life I love is making music with my friends And I can't wait to get on the road again. On the road again Goin' places that I've never been. Seein' things that I may never see again And I can't wait to get on the road again. On the road again - Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway We're the best of friends. Insisting that the world keep turning our way And our way is on the road again. Just can't wait to get on the road again. The life I love is makin' music with my friends And I can't wait to get on the road again. On the road again

P a g e | 28

ACT ONE • SCENE 12 • THE LION- WILD FOREST

The lighting is dim, there is a sense of thick vegetation. The roar of lions and the screams of monkeys and tropical birds fill the air. Clumps of tropical vegetation set at regular intervals across the stage. DOROTHY and the OTHERS enter tentatively.

DOROTHY: I don't like this forest! It's- it's dark and creepy!

SCARECROW: Of course, I'm not very bright, but I think it'll get darker before it gets lighter. DOROTHY: Do… do you suppose we'll meet any wild animals?

TINMAN: Mmm… we might.

DOROTHY: Oh!

SCARECROW: Animals that—that eat straw?

TINMAN: Ah, some- but mostly lions, and tigers, and bears.

DOROTHY: Lions!

SCARECROW: And tigers!

TIMMAN: And bears!

DOROTHY: Oh, my!

SONG: "THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT"

Ee-e-e-oh-mum-a-weh (x2) Wimoweh (x16) In the jungle, the mighty jungle The lion sleeps tonight In the jungle, the mighty jungle The lion sleeps tonight

P a g e | 29

Wimoweh (x16) Near the city, the Emerald City The lion sleeps tonight Near the city, the Emerald City The lion sleeps tonight Wimoweh (x16) Hush my darling, don't fear my darling The lion sleeps tonight Hush my darling, don't cry my darling The lion sleeps tonight Wimoweh (x16)

(Near at hand we suddenly hear a loud ferocious roar. THEY stop dead in THEIR tracks. There is another roar and the LION bounds on stage by way of a small trampoline and lands on the road blocking THEIR way. General screaming as LION leaps on)

DOROTHY: Oh look! SCARECROW: Oh!

(The TINMAN and the SCARECROW collide and collapse to the ground as the LION assumes a threatening pose)

LION: Hah! Put 'em up! Put 'em up! Which one of you first? I'll fight you both together if you want. I'll fight ya' with one paw tied behind my back! I'll fight ya' standin' on one foot! I'll fight ya' with my eyes closed!(HE turns suddenly on the TINMAN who holds up HIS axe in front of HIM). Oh, pullin' an axe on me, eh? Sneakin' up on me, eh? Why I oughta...!

TINMAN: Here, here. Go way and let us alone.

(TOTO in DOROTHY's arms suddenly barks causing LION to spin round in alarm)

LION: Well, I'll get you anyway, Pee-Wee.

(With a roar HE leaps towards DOROTHY. SHE slaps HIM on the nose and HE bursts into tears. The TINMAN and SCARECROW get to THEIR feet)

DOROTHY: Oh, shame on you!

LION: What did you do that for? I didn't bite him.

DOROTHY: No, but you tried to. It's bad enough picking on a straw man, but when you go around picking on poor little dogs...

LION: Well, you didn't have to go and hit me, did you? Is my nose bleedin'?

DOROTHY: Well, of course not. My goodness, what a fuss you're making! Naturally when you go around picking on things weaker than you are—why you're nothing but a great big coward!

P a g e | 30

LION: You're right, I am a coward! I haven't got any courage at all. I even scare myself.

TINMAN: Why don't you try guided meditation?

LION: That doesn't do any good – I'm afraid of the imagery.

SCARECROW: Oh, that's too bad. Don't you think the Wizard could help him, too?

DOROTHY: I don't see why not. Why don't you come along with us? We're on our way to see the Wizard now. To get him a heart.

TINMAN: And him a brain.

DOROTHY: I'm sure he could give you some courage. The Wizard will fix everything.

LION: But I’d be afraid to ask!

DOROTHY: Don’t be silly! If you start practicing now, I’m sure you’ll be brave enough to ask by the time we get there.

SONG: "BRAVE"

You can be amazing You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug You can be the outcast Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love Or you can start speaking up Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do When they settle ‘neath your skin Kept on the inside and no sunlight Sometimes a shadow wins But I wonder what would happen if you Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave I just want to see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave

P a g e | 31

Everybody’s been there, Everybody’s been stared down by the enemy Fallen for the fear And done some disappearing, Bow down to the mighty Don’t run, just stop holding your tongue Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live Maybe one of these days you can let the light in Show me how big your brave is Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave And since your history of silence Won’t do you any good, Did you think it would? Let your words be anything but empty Why don’t you tell them the truth? Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you See you be brave I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you

P a g e | 32

I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you

DOROTHY: There! Are you feeling brave?

LION: Well, with your help, I think maybe I am!

TINMAN: Then let’s get on the road again!

SONG: “ON THE ROAD AGAIN” (REPRISE)

On the road again - Just can't wait to get on the road again. The life I love is making music with my friends And I can't wait to get on the road again.

(They pass a sign that says,” Half Way to the Emerald City”)

SCARECROW: Look! We’re half way there!

SONG: “LIVIN’ ON A PRAYER”

Once upon a time Not so long ago Tommy used to work on the docks Union's been on strike He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough Gina works the diner all day Working for her man, she brings home her pay For love - for love She says we've got to hold on to what we've got 'Cause it doesn't make a difference If we make it or not We've got each other and that's a lot For love - we'll give it a shot [Chorus:] Whooah, we're half way there Livin' on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear Livin' on a prayer Tommy's got his six string in hock
