Wizard of Oz Blue.Fdx The Wizard of OZ __________________________ a LINX adaptation BLUE CAST LINX 141 LINDEN ST. WELLESLEY, MA 01746 (781) 235-3210 [email protected] PROLOGUE [ALL] GLINDA GREETS THE AUDIENCE CHARACTERS: GLINDA [CURTAIN OPENS. Behind the curtain is GLINDA. She looks at the audience with wonder.] GLINDA_PP What a wonderful audience. So many excited and eager faces. Are we all ready for an adventure? Watch one another’s backs now. Things do sneak up on you in Oz. Fortunately, they can be very nice things... (points to back of house) Like that... 1ST SONG: FIREWORK: ALL PERFORMERS ACT I, SCENE 1 [PP] IN WHICH DOROTHY IS CALLED BEFORE THE WIZARD. CHARACTERS: WIZARD, SCARECROW, LION, TIN MAN, DOROTHY [Head of Wizard hovers before audience. Below, Dorothy, Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Man tremble in terror. Mid-runner curtain is closed behind them. Also onstage is a booth with a hanging curtain. Thick ducts branch out from the booth.] WIZARD I am the great and powerful OZ! Who dares approach me? [Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Man shove Dorothy forward. Dorothy looks back at them.] SCARECROW_PP You got this. LION_PP We’re right behind you. [Dorothy turns toward Wizard. Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Man shuffle backwards. Dorothy turns to them, noticing the increased distance.] 2. TIN MAN_PP Right behind you! WIZARD (to Dorothy) Who are you? DOROTHY_PP My name is Dorothy. Dorothy Gale. WIZARD And where do you come from, “Dorothy Gale”? DOROTHY_PP Kansas. WIZARD Kansas? (long pause) What is Kansas? DOROTHY_PP It’s a place. My home - and I so want to return. A tornado picked up my home, picked up me and my little dog - only, he’s not so little anymore. When the house fell - oh! - the most terrible thing happened... [We hear the sounds of a tornado, a foundation being torn up, a dog yapping as the lights go down. Audience is left in the dark as the sounds play.] ACT I, SCENE 2 [SL] IN WHICH THE MUNCHKINS DETERMINE IF DOROTHY IS A GOOD WITCH OR A BAD WITCH CHARACTERS: BOQ, DOROTHY, TOTO, FERÍA, GLINDA, COCO, HONEY, DIP, POWDER, CINNAMON, PUMPKIN, JELLY [Mid-runner opens. Lights slowly return, revealing a house that has crashed down in the middle of Munchkinland. Beneath the house are two legs wearing striped tights and ruby shoes. Door falls off hinge to reveal DOROTHY. She steps out and looks around.] 3. DOROTHY_SL Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore. [Enter Toto through doorway. He is also full of wonder. Dorothy has not looked at him yet.] TOTO_SL You ain’t just whistlin’ Dixie. DOROTHY_SL (spins around, surprised) Toto! You can talk! And you’re huge! TOTO_SL Whoa! Look at me! And you understand me! DOROTHY_SL And you understand me! TOTO_SL Well, I could always understand you. Isn’t that funny? Animals understand people, but people don’t understand animals. It just goes to show, you people aren’t as highly evolved as you think you are. In fact, now that you understand me, there’s a few things I’ve been wanting to point out... DOROTHY_SL (as Toto speaks) Toto... Toto... (cutting him off) Toto! Now’s not the time. [While Toto was talking - and Dorothy was trying to get his attention - the Munchkins had been emerging from various spots.] COCO Are you a good witch? HONEY Or are you a bad witch? CINNAMON She’s awfully pretty, Pumpkin PUMPKIN Yes, Cinnamon. I bet she’s a good witch. 4. DIP I don’t think she’s any kind of witch. POWDER She has to be some kind of witch, Dip. JELLY Powder’s right. Only a witch can kill a witch. COCO Which brings us back to our first question: HONEY Are you a good witch? CINNAMON Or a bad witch? DOROTHY_SL But I haven’t killed any witch. PUMPKIN You sure did. DIP You dropped a house on her head. POWDER You can see her legs right there. DOROTHY_SL Oh, dear! How terrible! JELLY Terrible? Coco! She’s a bad witch! DOROTHY_SL No! COCO Then you’re a good witch? [Enter Glinda and Fería. All the Munchkins murmur in awe.] 5. GLINDA_SL Hello, dear friends. I believe we can clarify this matter. [Munchkins all step aside. Glinda glides up to Dorothy. Pause.] GLINDA_SL Are you a good witch or a bad witch? FERÍA_SL That helped a lot, Glinda. Thank you. [Toto marches in front of Dorothy.] TOTO_SL Listen! She’s not any kind of witch. Witches are old and ugly and gross. GLINDA_SL I’m a witch. TOTO_SL (beat) Sometimes it’s nice not being understood. (ducks behind Dorothy) FERÍA_SL I’m Fería, the Good Witch of the North. She is Glinda. Good Witch of the South. (pointing to legs) That was the Bad Witch of the East. GLINDA_SL Now then... are you a good witch or a bad witch? DOROTHY_SL ...Good? [All the Munchkins cheer.] MUNCHKINS She’s a good witch! She killed the bad witch! (sing) Ding-dong the witch is dead! Which ol’ witch? The wicked Witch! Ding-dong the wicked witch is dead! 6. [Lightning and thunder rip across stage. The Munchkins scatter.] TOTO_SL What was that? HONEY It’s the Wicked Witch! She’s coming. TOTO_SL I thought Dorothy killed the Wicked Witch. DIP She killed the Witch of the East! CINNAMON That’s the Wicked Witch of the West! POWDER You’d better hurry and get out of here. JELLY Here. Take these shoes! PUMPKIN The ruby slippers. Jelly, you’re a genius. COCO (to Dorothy) My friend, don’t take those shoes off. HONEY They have incredible magic! DIP The shoes will prospect you, Dorothy. POWDER You mean ‘protect’, Dip. [Dip nods happily. Another strike of lightning and thunder makes all cower.] DOROTHY_SL But where should I go? How can I get home? 7. FERÍA_SL You’ll have to seek the Wizard. JELLY Oh! The Wizard! He’s wonderful! CINNAMON Yes! He’ll know what to do! TOTO_SL But how do we get there? GLINDA_SL You must follow the Yellow Brick Road. (points over audience) See it there? DOROTHY_SL It stretches ever so far. Could someone keep us company? PUMPKIN You mean... leave Munchkinland? FERÍA_SL Excellent idea. (to the Munchkins) Dorothy needs someone to guide her. Any munchkin that wishes to volunteer, please step forward. [All Munchkins, except Boq, step back.] GLINDA_SL Boq! That’s very kind of you. BOQ_SL What? (realizes what happened) Listen, I’d love to help her. Really! But there’s a problem. GLINDA_SL Which is? BOQ_SL I don’t want to. 8. GLINDA_SL But you are perfect, Boq. You’ve been to the Emerald City. BOQ_SL Only once — by accident. (eyeing another Munchkin) Someone thought it would be funny to tie me to a Wandering Chicken. [Toto opens mouth to ask “How” a chicken could pull him all the way to a distant city.] BOQ_SL (holding up finger to Toto) Don’t ask. [Toto closes mouth.] FERÍA_SL Boq, you will lead Dorothy to the Emerald City - or I will turn you into a chicken. BOQ_SL (eyes grow wide then, to Dorothy, pleasant but nervous) When do we leave? COCO Don’t worry, Boq. It’s not that dangerous. DIP Oh, sure it is, Coco. The witch’s servants are everywhere. CINNAMON And they are terribly mean. HONEY What Coco was trying to say, you two, was that Boq will make it through okay. POWDER Right. He’s not going to get gobbled up. PUMPKIN Or trampled on. JELLY Or torn into little pieces. 9. BOQ_SL You can all stop comforting me now. Thank you. GLINDA_SL Off you go! MUNCHKINS Follow the yellow brick road! Ha-ha! Follow the yellow brick road! Hee-hee! Follow, follow, follow, follow, Follow the yellow brick road! Oh! If ever, oh, ever a wiz there was The Wizard of Oz is one because Because, because, because, because, because! Because of the wonderful things he does. La-la-la la-la-la-la... LA! You’re off to see the Wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz! ACT I, SCENE 3 [PP] IN WHICH TOTO AND BOQ STEP BEFORE THE WIZARD. CHARACTERS: WIZARD, SCARECROW, TIN MAN, LION, TOTO BOQ, DOROTHY [Scene continues with Dorothy before the face of the Wizard. Lion, Scarecrow and Tin Man are still behind her. Toto and Boq are now also seen in the shadows.] WIZARD And now you see me. Come forward, dog. You too, Munchkin. Why do you hide? TOTO_PP I... I wasn’t hiding. BOQ_PP I was. And he left a puddle in the corner. TOTO_PP What?! I didn’t! 10. BOQ_PP You most certainly did. TOTO_PP (through clenched teeth) The big talking head startled me. WIZARD Silence! So, Dorothy Gale, you came here without meeting the witch? DOROTHY_PP Oh, but I did meet the witch. She caught me on the road. WIZARD Were you not scared? BOQ_PP Scared? The dog’s lucky it’s the yellow brick road. TOTO_PP (clenched teeth again) Would you stop?! WIZARD What did she say to you? ACT I, SCENE 4 [CS] IN WHICH DOROTHY FIRST FACES THE WITCH CHARACTERS: TOTO, DOROTHY, BOQ, SCARECROW, WICKED WITCH, TIP, GLINDA [Dorothy walks along the road with Toto and Boq. A SCARECROW rests on a wooden post near an immense tree (the booth turned around). One arm is pointing at the audience.] TOTO_CS The road splits. DOROTHY_CS Excuse me, Boq. Which way should we go? BOQ_CS I was being dragged behind a chicken. You might as well ask that scarecrow. 11. SCARECROW_CS That way seems nice. TOTO_CS Did that Scarecrow talk? DOROTHY_CS Don’t be silly.

  • The Good, the Bad, the Wicked: Lessons from Oz”
    “The Good, The Bad, The Wicked: Lessons from Oz” by Dr. Brian Howell Assistant Professor of Anthropology , Wheaton College What could be a more unambiguous, self-identified portrait of evil than a green faced Witch surrounded by creepy flying monkeys? Her very name, the Wicked Witch of the West, sets the tone pretty clearly. She’s Bad; Glinda is Good; the wizard is a bumbler but a well-intentioned guy and Dorothy is haplessly caught in the middle. But the hottest ticket on Broadway says, “Not so fast.” Perhaps having a green face and wearing unfashionable black hats is not enough to make you Wicked. In fact, perhaps “goodness” and “wickedness” are not such clear-cut categories at all. In a musical “prequel” to the film “The Wizard of Oz,” the audience is challenged to re-evaluate the judgements of good and evil, tapping into the powerful cultural theme of authenticity at the same time. The Broadway musical “Wicked” is based on a book of the same name that tells the story of Elphaba (nee The Wicked Witch of the West) and her early history in the land of Oz. Born an unnatural shade of green due to the dalliances of her mother, Elphaba is misunderstood and ostracized, particularly when enrolling in a boarding school for aspiring Witches and Wizards (Shiz Academy). There she finds herself rooming with Galinda (later to become Glinda, The Good Witch), who inspires her to travel to the Emerald City in order to meet the Wizard. Elphaba, you see, has true magical gifts, and her only dream has been to meet and work with the Wizard, the Great and Powerful Oz.

EPISODE TWO 15 PREVIOUSLY Recap of the previous episode. 16 EXT. CLEARING The Sawhorse runs rampant, while Tip and Jack Pumpkinhead attempt to catch it and calm it down. JACK PUMPKINHEAD Whoah! Whoah! TIP (V.O.) Taming the Sawhorse now it was alive was proving ... tricky. When Jack came to life, he was full of questions and kinda stupid, but he was fairly calm, all things considered. The Sawhorse was frightened. And a little bit insane. JACK PUMPKINHEAD Calm down horsey! TIP Whoah, horse. Easy there boy -- look out Jack, it's coming through! JACK PUMPKINHEAD Whoooah! He leaps out of the way as the horse bounds past him. TIP Come on, there's nothing to be scared of. JACK PUMPKINHEAD I'm scared! TIP Nothing for the Sawhorse to be scared of. (to Sawhorse) We're your friends we're not going to hurt -- ahhh! He jumps aside as it rushes through. 45. JACK PUMPKINHEAD At least it's knocking you over as well as me, Dad. TIP I don't understand, why won't it listen to us? JACK PUMPKINHEAD Maybe it can't listen to us? TIP Oh? Oh, of course, that's it! Jack, find me some leaves or something. (he starts rummaging in the undergrowth) Big ones, about the size of my hand. We need two. JACK PUMPKINHEAD Why? TIP (finding leaves) Here we are, perfect. Ears, Jack! The Sawhorse doesn't have ears! JACK PUMPKINHEAD That's why he isn't listening! TIP We just need to fasten these on to his head and sprinkle a little more powder on.

Why did the Cowardly Lion decide to go with them and what did they all do? Ans: The lion wanted to ask Oz to give him courage as his life was simply unbearable without a bit of courage.

  • Gen. Jinjur's Army of Revolt Tip Was So Anxious to Rejoin His Man
    Gen. Jinjur's Army of Revolt Tip was so anxious to rejoin his man Jack and the Saw-Horse that he walked a full half the distance to the Emerald City without stopping to rest. Then he discovered that he was hungry and the crackers and cheese he had provided for the Journey had all been eaten. While wondering what he should do in this emergency he came upon a girl sitting by the roadside. She wore a costume that struck the boy as being remarkably brilliant: her silken waist being of emerald green and her skirt of four distinct colors--blue in front, yellow at the left side, red at the back and purple at the right side. Fastening the waist in front were four buttons--the top one blue, the next yellow, a third red and the last purple. The splendor of this dress was almost barbaric; so Tip was fully justified in staring at the gown for some moments before his eyes were attracted by the pretty face above it. Yes, the face was pretty enough, he decided; but it wore an expression of discontent coupled to a shade of defiance or audacity. While the boy stared the girl looked upon him calmly. A lunch basket stood beside her, and she held a dainty sandwich in one hand and a hard-boiled egg in the other, eating with an evident appetite that aroused Tip's sympathy. 62 He was just about to ask a share of the luncheon when the girl stood up and brushed the crumbs from her lap.

  • The Patchwork Girl of Oz
    The Patchwork Girl of Oz By L. Frank Baum THE PATCHWORK GIRL OF OZ Chapter One Ojo and Unc Nunkie "Where's the butter, Unc Nunkie?" asked Ojo. Unc looked out of the window and stroked his long beard. Then he turned to the Munchkin boy and shook his head. "Isn't," said he. "Isn't any butter? That's too bad, Unc. Where's the jam then?" inquired Ojo, standing on a stool so he could look through all the shelves of the cupboard. But Unc Nunkie shook his head again. "Gone," he said. "No jam, either? And no cake—no jelly—no apples—nothing but bread?" "All," said Unc, again stroking his beard as he gazed from the window. The little boy brought the stool and sat beside his uncle, munching the dry bread slowly and seeming in deep thought. "Nothing grows in our yard but the bread tree," he mused, "and there are only two more loaves on that tree; and they're not ripe yet. Tell me, Unc; why are we so poor?" The old Munchkin turned and looked at Ojo. He had kindly eyes, but he hadn't smiled or laughed in so long that the boy had forgotten that Unc Nunkie could look any other way than solemn. And Unc never spoke any more words than he was obliged to, so his little nephew, who lived alone with him, had learned to understand a great deal from one word. "Why are we so poor, Unc?" repeated the boy. "Not," said the old Munchkin. "I think we are," declared Ojo.

  • A Rhetorical Analysis of Wicked's Elphaba
    “IT’S JUST THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME, I FEEL… WICKED”: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF WICKED’S ELPHABA USING KENNETH BURKE’S GUILT-PURIFICATION-REDEMPTION CYCLE by Patricia C. Foreman A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Communication Studies at Liberty University May 2013 Foreman 2 Acknowledgements First and foremost, to “my Dearest, Darlingest Momsy and Popsicle,” and to my brother Gary, thank you so much for your constant support, encouragement, direction and love. I appreciate your words of wisdom and advice that always seem to be just what I need to hear. To each of my fellow graduate assistants, thank you for “dancing through life” with me. Thank you for becoming not only co-workers, but also some of my best friends. To my thesis committee – Dr. William Mullen, Dr. Faith Mullen, and Dr. Lynnda S. Beavers – thank you all so much for your help. This finished thesis is, without a doubt, the “proudliest sight” I’ve ever seen, and I thank you for your time, effort and input in making this finished product a success. Finally, to Mrs. Kim, and all of my fellow “Touch of Swing”-ers, who inspired my love of the Wicked production, and thus, this study. For the long days of rehearsals, even longer nights on tour buses, and endless hours of memories that I’ll not soon forget... “Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better? I do believe I have been changed for the better. And because I knew you, I have been changed for good.” Foreman 3 In Memory Of… Lauren Tuck May 14, 1990 – September 2, 2010 “It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime, so let me say before we part, so much of me is made of what I learned from you.
