In the style of the MGM musical based on the brilliant story and characters of Frank L. Baum's books, playwright Jeanette Jaquish has added more wit, quirky humor, and additional bits for the Munchkins, Flying Monkeys, Emerald Citizens and Winkie Guards, and even a flashback with the Witches of the East and West as squabbling little sisters, which explains a few things.
The Wizard appears in the Kansas scenes as a vacuum cleaner salesman dumping dirt on Auntie Em's rug, and getting whacked with Miss Gully's broom, then later gives Dorothy some helpful advice on dealing with Miss Gully.
This production cleverly weaves long beloved folk, jazz, and classical music, adding beauty and excitement to this newly revised production.
