Welcome to Wizard of Oz LVCMT Style!

Step into Oz like never before.
In a land where magic shimmers and shadows linger, join Dorothy and her faithful dog Toto as they’re swept into the mystical whirlwind of Oz. With only ruby slippers and determination, she sets off down the fabled Yellow Brick Road, chasing hope and the promise of the all-powerful Wizard who might send her home.

​

But Oz is no ordinary fairytale.

 

As Dorothy journeys deeper into this enchanted—and unpredictable—realm, she crosses paths with witches who challenge fate, Munchkins who celebrate the impossible, trees that speak in riddles, and monkeys who take to the skies. Along the way, she forms an unbreakable bond with three unforgettable companions: a Scarecrow longing for wisdom, a Tin Man aching to feel, and a Lion desperate to find his courage.

Together, they face trials that test their hearts and their beliefs, discovering that what they seek has been within them all along. With moments of soaring joy, haunting beauty, and stirring truth, The Wizard of Oz is not just a journey home—but a revelation that even in a land of illusion, authenticity and friendship can light the way.

​

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN — The Wizard of Oz 

A dazzling journey through Oz awaits… cast with heart, brains, courage - and a touch of magic.

🌪️ KANSAS CHARACTERS

DOROTHY GALE
A sweet, bold farm girl with dreams beyond the rainbow. Outspoken and headstrong, yet full of love for her family and dear dog, Toto. A true triple threat — strong vocals, solid dance ability, and emotional depth are essential. 

​

AUNT EM
A hardworking farmer’s wife with a no-nonsense exterior and a loving heart beneath. A grounded actress who can portray warmth through stoicism.  (Reprise of “Over the Rainbow”)

​

UNCLE HENRY
Dorothy’s kindhearted uncle and quiet observer of farm life. A small speaking role, perfect for a newer actor with stage presence.

​

HUNK / SCARECROW
A gentle farmhand who becomes the brain-seeking Scarecrow in Oz. Comedic timing, strong physicality, and a clumsy charm are key. 

​

ZEKE / LION
A brave-on-the-outside, terrified-on-the-inside character. In Kansas, Zeke offers advice; in Oz, he brings comic flair as the cowardly Lion. Must have charisma, comedic chops, and a bold character voice.

​

HICKORY / TIN MAN
The heartful farmhand who transforms into the kind, nurturing Tin Man. Graceful body control and a pleasant singing voice needed.

​

MISS GULCH / WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST
Dorothy’s menacing neighbor turns into Oz’s terrifying villain. A commanding actress with a knack for the dramatic — and a killer witch cackle — will thrive in this iconic role. Non-singing

​

TOTO
Dorothy’s loyal canine companion. Played by a puppet in Kansas and a full-costume actor in Oz. High energy and expressive movement are crucial. Minimal singing, expressive barking encouraged!

​

🎭 OZZIAN CHARACTERS

PROFESSOR MARVEL / THE WIZARD / VOICE OF OZ
A fast-talking traveling showman with a heart of gold — and a flair for the dramatic. In Oz, he’s all smoke and mirrors. Strong memorization and vocal command are key. Non-singing

​

GLINDA THE GOOD WITCH
Elegant, kind, and ethereal. Glinda is the guardian light in Dorothy’s journey. A graceful presence and a beautiful vocal tone required.

​

DOORMAN / GUARD OF OZ
Two delightful comedic characters (can be doubled). Grumpy one moment, gushy the next. Big personality and expressive delivery encouraged. Non-singing (character roles)

​
