🧠 Scene 3: The Road to Oz
GLINDA:
Along the yellow brick road, Dorothy made some very special friends.
DOROTHY:
Oh! What’s that?
SCARECROW:
Howdy! My name’s Scarecrow! I don’t have a brain!
DOROTHY:
Come with me! Maybe the Wizard can help.
SCARECROW:
You really think so? Golly, that would be swell!
GLINDA:
Soon, they met a man made of tin.
TINMAN:
I wish I had a heart! Can I come too?
DOROTHY:
Of course! We could use a friend like you.
TINMAN:
Thank you! I may be rusty, but I can dance!
TINMAN (does a robot dance):
Clank, clank, CLUNK!
GLINDA:
And then a lion with a roar!
LION:
ROOOAAAR! Put ‘em up. Put ‘em up put ‘em up. ...Oh no, did I scare you? I’m actually scared
of everything. I’m afraid of heights!
DOROTHY:
It’s okay. You’re brave for trying!
LION:
I want to come too. Maybe the Wizard can help me be brave.
DOROTHY:
Let’s all go together!
ENSEMBLE (walking in line, arms linked):
We’re off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz!

But trouble was waiting with the wicked witch and her flying monkeys...
WICKED WITCH:
Give me those ruby slippers!
DOROTHY:
Never!
TINMAN:
Leave her alone!
SCARECROW:
She didn’t do anything wrong!
LION (shaking):
Yeah! I mean... uh... RAAAAWR!
WICKED WITCH:
Then I’ll make you sorry!
ENSEMBLE:
Noooo!
GLINDA:
Dorothy was brave. She picked up a bucket...
DOROTHY (throws pretend water):
Take this!
WICKED WITCH (melting dramatically):
I’m melting! Meeeelting! What a world!

Yay! She’s gone! We’re free!

Who dares approach the great and powerful Oz?

Please help us!
SCARECROW:
I need a brain!
TINMAN:
I need a heart!
LION:
I want courage!
WIZARD:
You already have those things. You just needed to believe in yourselves!
SCARECROW:
Wait... I do think smart things sometimes!
TINMAN:
I cry during happy movies!
LION:
I faced a witch! That’s brave!
DOROTHY:
But how do I get home?
GLINDA (stepping forward):
You had the power all along. Just click your heels and say… There’s no place like home.
ENSEMBLE (clicking heels):
There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.
🌈 Finale
GLINDA:
And just like that, Dorothy was home again—safe, sound, and full of heart.
ENSEMBLE (singing):
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, then, oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
(Bows!)
