The Wizard of Oz Script and Music For Classroom Performances
Wizard of Oz and Wicked Fans alike will love this Wizard of Oz Musical Play for Young Children! Our goal is that as your students participate with this script and musical performance, they will, not only become more familiar with one of America’s great novels, but enjoy learning some musical history as well! And, of course develop important phonics, fluency, and comprehension skills along the way.
Put the Science of Reading into action the most authentic way possible! Integrate literature and music with this musical play of L. Frank Baum's classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, with some of the song lyrics written by Baum himself in 1902! Your students will have the opportunity to participate in an experience they'll never forget.
These performance materials contain everything that you will need, including background information, 2 script versions (varying reading levels), sheet music for each song, and two mp3s for each song (one that has vocals to help the children learn the songs and one that is accompaniment only). These songs are both original and/or adapted by the Frank Baum's 1902 musical. This leads to a great opportunity for an author's study!
The parts for the play are: Narrator(s), Uncle Henry, Aunt Em, Dorothy, Locasta, Munchkins, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion, Poppies, Guardian of the Gate, Wizard, Wicked Witch, Flying Monkeys, Glinda, Chorus The numbers of poppies, monkeys, locust and munchkins can vary depending on class size. The show is easily adaptable in size!
There are ten songs in the play. (Of course you can add songs from the movies as desired). Preview a song here.
