Lead - Mezzo-Soprano. A is a sweet, innocent young lady who has a streak of boldness. She lives on a farm with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry but dreams of escaping to a far-off place where she does not get into so much trouble. She and her dog, Toto, are inseparable. She is a bit outspoken and headstrong, but dearly loves her family and friends. Dorothy needs to be a strong vocalist and a good dancer. Classic broadway sound preferred. Must be comfortable with dogs in case we find a live Toto.
Supporting - Spoken
Lead - Baritone Excellent dancer – acrobatic skills a bonus. Strong baritone to F. Hunk (Scarecrow) is one of three farmhands who offers Dorothy advice about how to deal with Miss Gulch. The same actor that plays Hunk will also play the Scarecrow when in Oz, and the audience should be able to make the connection between the two through body language and speech. Both characters talk about being smart and having a brain.
Supporting - Spoken
Lead - Tenor, Baritone Strong baritone / tenor to G. Hickory (Tin Man) is the third farmhand, and his Oz alter ego is the Tin Man, who lacks a heart. The Tin Man is kind, sweet and nurturing.

Supporting - Spoken
Lead - Baritone Should move well. Cuddly actor with excellent comic timing. Strong baritone to F. Zeke (Lion) is another farmhand who talks to Dorothy about her problems, advising her to just "have a little courage." His Oz alter ego, the Lion, is lacking courage.
