This original stage version of THE WIZARD OF OZ premiered at the Municipal Theatre of St. Louis (MUNY) in 1942. There are two full-length versions of THE WIZARD OF OZ: MUNY and RSC. Both include the songs “Over The Rainbow,” “Munchkinland (Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead),” “If I Only Had A Brain/A Heart/The Nerve,” “We’re Off To See The Wizard (Follow The Yellow Brick Road),” “The Jitterbug,” and “The Merry Old Land of Oz.” The MUNY version also has “Evening Star.” The RSC version also includes “Poppies (Optimistic Voices)” and “If I Were King Of The Forest.” This MUNY version is the more theatrically conservative, and employs its stage, actors, singers, dancers, and musicians in traditional ways. Frank Baum’s book – and not the MGM film – as its inspiration, this version employs story and songs as elements of a classic stage musical.
This version does not include Toto, but instead adds new characters, including: Farmhand Joe, Gloria of Oz, Lord Growlie, Tibia (the witch’s skeletal assistant), two comical neighboring witches, and the Royal Army of Oz. The is a more faithful adaptation of the film. A more technically complex production, it recreates the dialogue and structure of the MGM classic nearly scene for scene, though it is adapted for live stage performance.
The RSC version’s musical material also provides more work for the SATB chorus and small vocal ensembles. Music samples provided courtesy of Hallmark Records and Sony/ATV Music Publishing. • Act I A teenage girl, Dorothy, lives on a farm in dreary Kansas with her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em dreaming of faraway places (“Over The Rainbow”). One day the farmhouse, with Dorothy inside, is swept off by a tornado to Munchkin land in the Land of Oz. The falling house kills the cruel ruler of the Munchkins, the Wicked Witch of the East. The Munchkins and the Sorceress of the North greet Dorothy (“Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead” and “Munchkin Land”).
The Sorceress tells Dorothy that she will have to go to the Emerald City to ask the great Wizard of Oz to help her return home. The Wicked Witch of the West, sister of the late Wicked Witch of the East, vows revenge upon Dorothy. Dorothy meets the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. The Scarecrow wants to get a brain, and the Tin Woodman needs a heart (“If I Only Had a Brain”/”If I Only Had a Heart”).
Dorothy suggests that the Wizard can help them too (“We’re Off to See the Wizard”). They then meet the Cowardly Lion (“If I Only Had the Nerve”). The four friends travel down the yellow brick road, having been warned of the lions, tigers, bears and the fantastical jitterbugs who are controlled by the Wicked Witch. When the jitterbugs attack, Dorothy appeals to the Sorceress of the North, who freezes the jitterbugs (“The Jitterbug”).

Act II In the Emerald City, the Royal Army of Oz (which consists of many generals and just one private) practices maneuvers. Dorothy and her friends arrive and meet Lord Growlie, his daughter Gloria, and the Royal Army. Lord Growlie warns them of the Great Wizard’s power and temper. Gloria leads the friends on a tour (“The Merry Old Land of Oz”) and several Ozian girls ask Dorothy to sing about love (“Evening Star”). Finally, the friends meet the Wizard, who declares that he will only help them after they kill the Wicked Witch of the West. The four friends set off for the witch’s castle.
With the aid of her skeletal assistant, Tibia, the witch eventually captures Dorothy, and her friends rush to try to rescue her, disguising themselves as ghosts. The witch, unfazed, intends to shrink Dorothy and her friends with a magic potion in her cauldron. When the Witch threatens the Scarecrow with fire, Dorothy pushes the her into the cauldron, shrinking her away to nothing (“Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead” – Reprise). The friends return to the Emerald City, but the Wizard turns out to be an ordinary old man who had journeyed to Oz from Omaha long ago. Despite his lack of magical powers, the Wizard provides the companions with symbolic gifts: a diploma for the Scarecrow, a pocket watch for the Tin Woodman, and a medal of courage for the Cowardly Lion.
To help Dorothy return home, the Wizard personally escorts her in his new rocket ship. As Dorothy and the Wizard fly off to Kansas, the entire company sings a reprise of “Over The Rainbow.” • THE WIZARD OF OZ By L.
