Breakdown

Dorothy Gale
Ingenue. Ideally 13 - 17 to play 13 but will consider girls of all ages who can convincingly play early teens. Young, innocent, sweet. A true heart. Can be vulnerable, but very determined, is stronger than she realizes. Excellent vocals with a comfortable G to B flat range. No Taller than 5’3

Aunt Em/Glinda
Female 40’s-50’s. Aunt Em: Hard-scrabble, prairie stock, no-nonsense farm woman with a big heart. Glinda: Epitome of the mature heroine from which goodness flows unceasingly. Has a twinkling eye. Strong legit vocals with a range from A to D.

Prof. Marvel/Oz
Male 60’s. Marvel: Slightly befuddled, very kindly, warm and friendly ‘snake oil salesman’ type. The Great Oz: Befuddled ‘absent minded professor’ with a loving heart. Can be fearsome when in disguise. Ensemble singing.

Elmira/WWW
Female 40’s-50’s. Elmira: Severe spinster with a knack for making enemies. Wicked Witch of the West: The quintessential witch complete with cackle, broomstick, and a wicked sense of humor. She loves being bad and is good at it. Ensemble singing.

Zeke/Cowardly Lion
Male 30’s-40’s. Zeke: Friendly farmhand, always a bit nervous and occasionally the brunt of a few jokes. Lion: ‘King of the Forest’ fighting hard to be ferocious, when he’s scared of his own shadow. Strong singer/dancer. Comedic ability essential. Baritone.

Hickory/Tin Man
Male 20’s-40’s. Hickory: Practical joke-loving farmhand. Tin Man: Slightly sad and sentimental man, hopelessly in love with a girl. Strong singer/dancer. Tap dancing a PLUS. Bari/tenor.

Hunk/Scarecrow
Male late 20’s-40’s. Excellent dancer. Hunk: Happy farm hand that fancies himself a thinker. Scarecrow: Dorothy’s floppy, fun-loving friend and protector. Empty headed but longs for brains. Bari/tenor.
