Dorothy: (startled) Who, me? I m I m not a witch at all. I m Dorothy Gale, from Kansas. Glinda: Oh! Well, is that the witch? (she points at Toto) Dorothy: Who, Toto? Toto s my dog. (Glinda guides Dorothy to Center Stage.) Glinda: Well, I m a little confused. The Munchkins called me because a new witch has just dropped a house on the Wicked Witch of the East. 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. Witches are old and ugly. (Munchkins laugh from behind platform.) Dorothy: What was that? Glinda: The Munchkins. They re laughing because I am a witch. I m Glinda, the Witch of the North. Dorothy: You are! I beg your pardon! But I ve never heard of a beautiful witch before. Glinda: Only bad witches are ugly. (Munckins laugh again). Glinda: The Munchkins are happy because you have freed them from the Wicked Witch of the East.
Dorothy: Oh, what are Munchkins? Glinda: The little people who live in this land. This is Munchkin Land. It s all right you may all come out and thank her. (Munchkins come out from behind platform singing the following as they walk over to Glinda and Dorothy) ALL MUNCHKINS: (singing) Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!

Mayor: As Mayor of the Munchkin City, I welcome you to the Land of Oz. Mopsi (Munchkin 1): But we have to make sure that the witch is dead. Ojo (Munchkin 2): Which, witch? Kiki (Munchkin 3): The Wicked Witch! Mopsi (Munchkin 1): And here are her ruby slippers! Munchkins help put ruby slippers on Dorothy s feet. Mayor: This is a day of independence! (All Munchkins cheer and dance around Dorothy. In the midst of rejoicing there is a loud explosion, the Munchkins huddle together around Dorothy in fear. Glinda stands in the huddle not scared at all. the Wicked Witch appears on a broom and circles around the Munchkins and Dorothy. They all huddle even closer together. The munchkins crouch around Dorothy s feet.) 3 Mopsi (Munchkin 1): The witch! Mayor: Quick, run! Dorothy: I thought you said she was dead. (Wicked Witch stops spinning around the huddle and stops on on side of the huddle, the opposite side of Glinda.) 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. West Witch: Where s my sister? Glinda: She s under that house (she points to offstage ). West Witch: Alright, who turned her into a house? Was it you Glinda? (West Witch crosses over to Glinda.) Glinda: Not the house. Under the house. West Witch: Under the house? Dorothy: (still in a huddle) It s my fault. I m so sorry. My house dropped on her. West Witch: You dropped your house on my sister? How could anyone be so mean? Ojo (Munchkin 2): She didn t mean to. Witch: Quiet you! Wait, the ruby slippers. Give them back to me or I ll--- Glinda: It s too late. Dorothy already slipped them on her feet. West Witch: Give me back those slippers. I m the only one that knows how to use them. Give them back! Give them back!
(The Munchkins and Dorothy crouch and huddle) Glinda: (turn toward Dorothy) Keep tight inside of them. Their magic must be very powerful or she wouldn t want them so badly. West Witch: You stay out of this, Glinda, or I ll fix you as well. Glinda: Oh, fiddle-faddle! You have no power while I m here. Be gone, before somebody drops a house on you, too! West Witch: Very well. But I ll get those slippers. I ll get you, my pretty and your little dog, too! (Gets on her broom and makes a big loop around the stage and exits) Glinda: It s all right. You can get up. She s gone. (Munchkins and Dorothy get up.) Kiki (Munchkin 3): I m glad she s gone. Mayor: She is the wicky-est witch of them all! Mopsi (Munchkin 1): Did you see her fly around on that broomstick? Ojo (Munchkin 2): I couldn t believe it! Glinda: You must find your way back home now Dorothy Dorothy: But which is the way back to Kansas? I can t go the way I came. Glinda: No, that s true. You ll have to go see the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy: The Wizard of Oz? Is he good, or is he wicked? Glinda: Oh, he s good. Mayor: He lives in Emerald City. Glinda: Did you bring your broom. Dorothy: No I m afraid I didn t. Glinda: Well, then, You ll have to walk. And remember, never take those ruby slippers off of your feet. Dorothy: But---how do I start for the Emerald City? Glinda: Just follow the Yellow Brick Road. (she exits ) ALL Munchkins: (waving toward Glinda) Goodbye, Glinda! Goodbye! (Munchkins line up. Dorothy at end of the line.

Scarecrow: (points in different direction and freeze) It s nice down that way too. Dorothy: (Looks at Scarecrow) 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: I did. Or maybe I didn t. I haven t got a brain, only straw. So I don t know. 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. Scarecrow: (Jumping off box, walking DS) But.. I can t even scare a crow. Oh, if I only had a brain I could think up a way to scare those crows. Dorothy: Maybe you could come with me and ask the Wizard for a brain. Scarecrow: Wow, that is a really good idea. You are very smart. Hurrah, I m going to get a brain! Dorothy: To Oz! Scarecrow: To Oz! Dorothy and Scarecrow: (both link arms and sing) We re off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz!

Scarecrow: How did you ever get like this? Tin Man: The Wicked Witch of the West put a spell on me. Dorothy: That s terrible. Tin Man: The worst part is, she didn t put a heart in. Dorothy & Scarecrow: No heart? Tin Man: No heart. (he cries) Dorothy: Oh, please don t cry Tin Man. You ll rust. Scarecrow: Why don t you come with us to the Emerald City and ask the Wizard of Oz for a heart. Tin Man: Suppose the Wizard wouldn t give me one when we got there? Dorothy: Oh, but he will.

Lion: You re right, I am a coward. I even scare myself. Scarecrow: Don t you think the Wizard could help him, too? Dorothy: Maybe. Tin Man: Do you want to come with us to see the Wizard?
