BOYS AUDITION PASSAGE-(Boys read the part of Tin Man) TIN MAN: I ve been holding that ax ever since I rusted. If you ll just oil my legs. How can I ever thank you? DOROTHY: We re on our way to the Emerald City to see the Wizard of Oz. We re going to ask him to send me to Kansas and to give Scarecrow some brains. TIN MAN: Do you think the Wizard could give me a heart? DOROTHY: I don t see why not. Why? Don t you have a heart? TIN MAN: I did once. But the Evil Witch of the West took my heart away. And now I know that losing your heart is the worst thing that can happen to you because it means you can never be happy again. GIRLS AUDITION PASSAGE (Girls read the part of Glinda) GLINDA: I have heard of your travels Dorothy. You want to go home to Kansas very badly. DOROTHY: Oh I do so want to go home. Can you tell me how? GLINDA: You have the power, Dorothy. You have had it with you all the time. DOROTHY: I have? GLINDA: It s in your ruby slippers. Remember I told you they were magical? All you have to do is to click the heels together three times and say There s no place like home. And in the blink of an eye, you will be home. Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Sing) Way up high, There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby. Skies are blue, And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far Behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me. 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?
