Performance Details
One dark afternoon, Dorothy and Toto were taking a walk, when they were spooked by a mean local lady on her bicycle, Mrs. Gulch. Dorothy and Toto run in terror, as a storm begins to brew. Mrs. Gulch steals Toto, and while trying to get away, Dorothy falls, bumps her head, and is left unconscious, as a tornado moves onto her farm.
Moments later, Dorothy is awoken by her friend Toto, licking her face. She wakes up and realizes, she’s not in Kansas anymore. Glinda, a good witch, flies in to explain. “ She must take the path of the yellow brick road, to meet the Wizard of Oz,“ if she wishes to return back to Kansas. Unknowing ly, the tornado had taken Dorothy’s farmhouse and tossed it on top of the Wicked Witch of the East.
She is later greeted by many groups of Munchkins, of Munchkinland. The mayor and the rest of the munchkins welcome Dorothy and celebrate the death of The Wicked Witch. After the celebration, Dorothy and Toto make
their way down the yellow brick road; they’re off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Along the yellow brick road, Dorothy and Toto come across a corn field with a scarecrow hanging. The scarecrow springs to life and explains to Dorothy, he’s missing his brain. Dorothy tells him to follow her to see the Wizard of Oz, to get his brain. The Scarecrow follows Dorothy down the yellow brick road.
They soon come to a forest, in the forest is a rusted Tin Man. They add some oil, to help him move his arms and legs. He explains that he doesn’t have a heart. Dorothy and Scarecrow get the Tin Man to follow them to see the Wizard and get him a new heart.
A few skips away, they come to a scary part of the forest. In the forest, they come across a big scary lion. The lion gets spooked by noises coming from the forest, and confesses, he doesn’t have any courage. He’s actually a scared and cowardly lion. They take the lion with them down the yellow brick road to find the Wizard.
Just before arriving at Emerald City, the Wicked Witch of the West sees, on her crystal ball, that they’re getting closer. She casts a spell on the Poppy Flowers and causes Dorothy to sleep. Glinda comes and makes the Pop pies disappear and sends them back on their way.
They finally make it to the Wizard and he sends them to gather the witch’s broom stick. They go back to get the broom stick, but the flying monkeys come in and take Dorothy and Toto away and attack the Scarecrow, Lion, and Tin Man.
Inside the Witch’s Quarters, the witch’s guards march Dorothy and Toto into the chambers of the Wicked Witch of the West. They try to escape, but they’re cornered by the flying monkeys. The Wicked Witch tries to catch the scarecrow on fire with her torch, but Dorothy throws a bucket of water on the torch and the Witch, to put out the flame. Immediately, the Wicked Witch starts to melt.
“I’m Melting, melting….” She screams, as she disappears and the monkeys and guards begin bowing to Dorothy and give her the broom stick to take back to the Wizard.
Back at the Wizard’s Quarters, Dorothy and the others enter with the broom stick. The Wizard denies them and upsets them all. Toto runs over to the Wizard’s curtain and pulls it, revealing that he’s just a normal human man.
The Wizard, in a fright, gives the Tin Man his heart, the Scarecrow his brain, and the Lion his courage. Then he offers to fly Dorothy home in his hot air balloon, to get out of the Land of Oz.
The Wizard of Oz leaves in the balloon and Glinda enters, dancing around singing to Dorothy, letting her know not to worry.
Glinda waves her magic wand and tells Dorothy to click her heels three times and repeat “there’s no place like home.“ Dorothy does this and all of a sudden, everything goes black.
Seconds later, she begins to wake up, as if she were in a deep sleep. As she wakes up, she starts to realize, she’s accompanied by Toto, Auntie Em, and the three farmers.
She explains to them all of the adventures she had with Toto, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion and the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz. They all laugh and tell her she was knocked on the head during the storm. She must have been dreaming the whole thing.
She replies, “but you were there, and you, and even you.” No one really knows if it was a dream, but the land of Oz is definitely a much safer place now, without the Wicked old Witch!
