The Magical Land of Oz

I once again got be be apart of Roadshow! This year our theme was "Out of Great Books" and we chose to go with The Wizard of Oz. We wrote out script based off the comedy of Angela Johnson. It was pretty fun. As will all Roadshows there was a lot of work, a lot of stress, a lot of craziness, a lot of sleepiness but in the end A LOT of FUN! I loved it! I wish I had done Roadshows as a youth.

Anyhow, here it is: It's about 10 minutes long. The kids did great!

There was a minor malfunction with the opening song:  (I'm pretty proud of it...so here are the lyrics. to the tune of "Arabian Nights.")

Oh I tell of a land, of a magical place
Somewhere over the rainbow.
Where happy, blue birds fly
Way up high in the sky
It's enchanted; this munchkin home.
The wicked witch of the West and Galinda never rest
From their feud of Popular cause
So just relax, lend an ear
Listen close, you will hear
My story of Magical Oz

For anyone who doesn't know, Roadshow here is done as a 24 hour marathon. While we get the theme early and can work on the script/idea for the show, you can not begin production until Friday night and you perform the following Saturday night. This includes all costumes, set, lines...etc. It is a huge production squeezed into a tiny amount of time!
