Nobody Understands Me
by The Wizard Of Oz Cast
I've always played the fool around here
I'm starting to worry that
I rush through life forgetting to breath
We all need some time to adapt
No one understands
No one understands
What it's like
I had high hopes of silver and gold;
I thought this could change for the best
My mom always said I was named for a saint
But I never felt I was blessed
No one understands
No one understands
No one understands
What it's like
I got your cure right here
Is that what you want to hear'
I've played the fool too many times
I've been catching up
For all my life
And it seems
It gets harder to believe it gets harder but
Be honest
If the sun don't shine tomorrow we'll survive
I turn this up as loud as it goes
And it ain't doing much for the pain
It's up to me and the heart on my sleeve
That hasn't quite been the same
No one understands
No one understands
No one understands
What it's like
I got your cure right here
Is that what you want to hear'
I've played the fool too many times
I've been catching up for all my life and it seems
It gets harder to believe
It gets harder but
Be honest
If the sun don't shine tomorrow we'll survive
I'm in a field of landmines
A cruise ship to hell
O but I don't think about that
It's so hard to find help
These days
When everyone's counting on me
But I'm burnt already
I got your cure right here
Is that what you want to hear'
I've played the fool too many times
I've been catching up for all my life and it seems
It gets harder to believe
It gets harder but be honest
If the sun don't shine tomorrow
If the sun don't shine tomorrow
If the sun don't shine tomorrow
Then we'll survive
I'm starting to worry that
I rush through life forgetting to breath
We all need some time to adapt
No one understands
No one understands
What it's like
I had high hopes of silver and gold;
I thought this could change for the best
My mom always said I was named for a saint
But I never felt I was blessed
No one understands
No one understands
No one understands
What it's like
I got your cure right here
Is that what you want to hear'
I've played the fool too many times
I've been catching up
For all my life
And it seems
It gets harder to believe it gets harder but
Be honest
If the sun don't shine tomorrow we'll survive
I turn this up as loud as it goes
And it ain't doing much for the pain
It's up to me and the heart on my sleeve
That hasn't quite been the same
No one understands
No one understands
No one understands
What it's like
I got your cure right here

Over The Rainbow
by The Wizard Of Oz Cast
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, 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,
High above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds 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?
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, 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,
High above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds 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?

Wonders of the World
by The Wizard Of Oz Cast
[PROFESSOR MARVEL]
Ta-da!
Oh yes indeed!
And now, Mirabile dictu et curibus pluribus unum!
Or to use the vernacular
Behold Professor Marvel's Magical Lantern
To see the wonders of the world you won't need to go too far from home
Not too far at all
Dorothy there are other ways
To see the world, so shift your gaze
To this extravagant appliance
Mainly magic, slightly science
With no stressful travel plans
As you don't have to move from Kansas, see?
The unabridged assembled wonders of the world
Fly the coop and cross the ocean
Time and distance set in motion
Grab this chance to wander yonder
All the earth is ours to ponder
From the poles to the equator
No one could provide a greater view
There's the Nile, now some don't give a hoot
That it's the longest river
But we know in miles of course it's four-one-eighty
Seas to source
It's nature at it's most prolific
Pyramids are quite terrific too
So welcome to the waiting wonders of the world
Sometimes we may feel something simply can't be real
Like a road beneath your feet that's paved with gold
I would be inclined to maintain an open mind
For truth is very strange if truth be told
There's old popacatepetl
New York City, glass and metal
Everest unconquered mountain
Over five miles high and countin'
Here's the arctic pole and polar bears
And northern lights and solar flares
A myriad exquisite wonders of the world
Imagine red and blue on the mountains of Peru
And Sahara sands of yellow burning white
In jungles black and green fearsome creatures never seen
Other than right now- oh! That's not right!
I'm so sorry, that was from my private collection
Moving rapidly along
We don't have to take it slowly
Here's Tibet, remote and holy
Angel falls in Venezuela
Eiffel Tower, humpback whale!
A moment feeling all the thrills
Of being near the seven hills of Rome
Oh so many sights to savour
This has merely been a flavour
Maybe time for one more wonder
Very strange it looks like thunder
But the point that I'm conveying
Is you see it all while staying home
And home is one of many wonders of the world
The unabridged assembled wonders of the world
Professor Marvel's patent wonders of the world
Ta-da!
Oh yes indeed!
And now, Mirabile dictu et curibus pluribus unum!

MunchkinLand
by The Wizard Of Oz Cast
Glinda
Come out, come out, wherever you are and meet the young lady, who fell from a star.
She fell from the sky, she fell very far and Kansas, she says, is the name of the star.
Munchkins
Kansas, she says, is the name of the star.
Glinda
She brings you good news. Or haven't you heard?
When she fell out of Kansas
A miracle occurred.
Dorothy
It really was no miracle. What happened was just this.
The wind began to switch - the house to pitch and suddenly the hinges started to unhitch.
Just then the Witch - to satisfy an itch went flying on her broomstick, thumbing for a hitch.
Munchkins
And oh, what happened then was rich.
*The house began to pitch. The kitchen took a slitch.
It landed on the Wicked Witch in the middle of a ditch,
Which was not a healthy situation for the Wicked Witch.
*The house began to pitch. The kitchen took a slitch.
It landed on the Wicked Witch in the middle of a ditch,
Which was not a healthy situation for the Wicked Witch.
... Who began to twitch and was reduced to just a stitch of what was once the Wicked Witch.
Munchkin #1
We thank you very sweetly, for doing it so neatly.
Munchkin #2
You've killed her so completely, that we thank you very sweetly.
Glinda
Let the joyous news be spread, The Wicked Old Witch at last is dead!

If I Only Had A Brain
by The Wizard Of Oz Cast
Scarecrow
I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin' while my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le,
In trouble or in pain.
Dorothy
With the thoughts you'll be thinkin' you could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain.
Scarecrow
Oh, I could tell you why The ocean's near the shore.
I could think of things I never thunk before.
And then I'd sit, and think some more.
I would not be just a nothin' my head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry,
If I only had a brain.
Dorothy
Ohh! Wonderful!
Why, if our scarecrow back in Kansas could do that, the crows'd be scared to pieces!
Scarecrow
They would?
Dorothy
Yes
Scarecrow
Where's Kansas?
Dorothy
That's where I live. And I want to get back there so badly, I'm going all the way to the
Emerald City to get the Wizard of Oz to help me.
Scarecrow
Do you think if I went wtih you this Wizard would give me some brains?
Dorothy
I couldn't say. But even if he didn't you'd be no worse off than you are now.
Scarecrow
Yes, that's true.
Scarecrow
Look - I won't be any trouble, because I don't eat a thing, and I won't try to manage things,
Because I can't think. Won't you take me with you?
Dorothy
Of course, I will.
Scarecrow
Hooray! We're off to see a Wizard!
Dorothy
Oh - well, you're not starting out very well.
Scarecrow
Oh, I'll try! Really, I will.
Dorothy
To Oz?
Dorothy
To Oz!
I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain.

If I Only Had A Heart
by The Wizard Of Oz Cast
Tin Man
When a man's an empty kettle he should be on his mettle,
And yet I'm torn apart.
Just because I'm presumin' that I could be kind-a-human,
If I only had heart.
I'd be tender - I'd be gentle and awful sentimental
Regarding Love and Art.
I'd be friends with the sparrows ... and the boys who shoots the arrows
If I only had a heart.
Picture me - a balcony. Above a voice sings low.
Dorothy
Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
Tin Man
I hear a beat....How sweet.
Just to register emotion, jealousy - devotion,
And really feel the part.
I could stay young and chipper and I'd lock it with a zipper, If I only had a heart.
Dorothy
That was wonderful! You know, we were just wondering why you couldn't come with us to
The Emerald City to ask the Wizard of Oz for a heart.
Tin Man
Well, suppose the Wizard wouldn't give me one when we got there?
Dorothy
Oh, but he will! He must! We've come such a long way already.
Scarecrow
To Oz?
Tin Man
To Oz!
Dorothy, Scarecrow and Tin Man

If I Only Had the Nerve
by The Wizard Of Oz Cast
Lion
Yeh, it's sad, believe me, Missy, When you're born to be a sissy
Without the vim and verve.
But I could show my prowess, be a lion not a mou-ess
If I only had the nerve.
I'm afraid there's no denyin' I'm just a dandelion,
A fate I don't deserve.
I'd be brave as a blizzard....
Tin Man
I'd be gentle as a lizard....
Scarecrow
I'd be clever as a gizzard....
Dorothy
If the Wizard is a Wizard who will serve.
Scarecrow
Then I'm sure to get a brain,
Tin Man
A heart,
Dorothy
A home,
Lion
The nerve!
Yeh, it's sad, believe me, Missy, When you're born to be a sissy
Without the vim and verve.

Optimistic Voices / We're Outta The Woods
by The Wizard Of Oz Cast
You're out of the woods
You're out of the dark
You're out of the night
Step into the sun
Step into the light
Keep straight ahead for the most glorious place
On the face of the earth or the sky
Hold onto your breath
Hold onto your heart
Hold onto your hope
March up to the gate and bid it open
You're out of the woods
You're out of the dark
You're out of the night
Step into the sun
Step into the light
March up to the gate and bid it open, open
You're out of the dark
You're out of the night
Step into the sun
Step into the light
Keep straight ahead for the most glorious place
On the face of the earth or the sky
Hold onto your breath
Hold onto your heart
Hold onto your hope
March up to the gate and bid it open
You're out of the woods
You're out of the dark
You're out of the night
Step into the sun
Step into the light
March up to the gate and bid it open, open

Merry Old Land of Oz

Ha - ha - ha, Ho - ho - ho - And a couple of tra - la - las
That's how we laugh the day away, In the Merry Old Land of Oz!
Bzz - bzz - bzz, Chirp - chirp - chirp - And a couple of La - di - das
That's how the crickets crick all day, In the Merry Old Land of Oz!
We get up at twelve and start to work at one.
Take an hour for lunch and then at two we're done.
Jolly good fun!
Ha - ha - ha, Ho - ho - ho - And a couple of tra - la - las
That's how we laugh the day away, In the Merry Old Land of Oz!
Pat, pat here, Pat, pat there, and a couple of brand new straws.
That's how we keep you young and fair In the Merry Old Land of Oz!
Rub, rub here, Rub, rub there, Whether you're tin or brass
That's how we keep you in repair In the Merry Old Land of Oz!
We can make a dimple smile out of a frown.
Can you even dye my eyes to match my gown? Uh-huh!
Jolly Old town!
Clip, clip here, Clip, clip there, We give the roughest claws.
That certain air of savoir faire, In the Merry Old Land of Oz!
Ha - ha - ha - Ho - ho - ho - Ho - ho - ho - ho -

Blooming fragrant always
Through the mosses and
The grasses looming
Fascinations rare assuming.
We delight when alone to pass
The moments gaily at play
Every petal graciously nods
Our many charms to display.
Poppy Queen:
For death like a breath,
Comes to all soon or late
And mortals are the sport
Of a mischievous fate.
So welcome the peace
That we bring to mankind
It is happiness to dream on,
With every care left behind.
Poppy Flowers:
We are poppies
In fairest splendor
Blooming fragrant always
Through the mosses and
The grasses looming
Fascinations rare assuming.
We delight when alone to pass
The moments gaily at play
Every petal graciously nods
Our many charms to display,
Our charms to display,
Our charms to display.
We are poppies
In fairest splendor
Blooming fragrant always
Through the mosses and
The grasses looming
Fascinations rare assuming.
We delight when alone to pass
The moments gaily at play
Every petal graciously nods
Our many charms to display.

As we speak my late sister's magic shoes are tip-tip-tapping their way here
Led by that fresh little girl and her rattle tattle friends
Well, Dorothy, I'll lead you such a merry dance
You'll be sorry you ever dared wander into Oz and cross me!

Red Shoes Blues
by The Wizard Of Oz Cast
[WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST]
She's so misguided
It's all so one-sided
That dimwitted girl dares tangle with me
She's prissy, she's clueless, and I want her shoeless
I'll show how her fiendishly mean I can be
I want those shoes to establish just who's number one
From the east to the west
Then I'll be complete
With the world at my feet
And red always suited me best
I know
I hold sway
Over all I survey
But I now need a much bigger deal
The shoes are the key
To the making of me
So find her!
And bring her to heel
When I get that footwear
From her and it's put where
It could have been, should of been
Right from the start
My power will grow
It will blossom and flow
Through the world, through the years
And straight to my heart
We all like to dance
So now here's your chance
You'll dance till your very last gasp
Gyrate, pirouette
You'll swelter and sweat
And stumble right into my grasp...
You'll find you can't stop
As you dance till drop
And stumble right into my grasp
[SPOKEN]
Enjoy your dance my pretties...
And now. You. My monkeys. My darlings. Yes
It is time, at long last, for you to do your work
Off you go and mop up the mess- I want that little girl and her mangy little dog
But most of all... I want my slippers
Now go!
Fly!
Fly!
Fly!
She's so misguided
It's all so one-sided
That dimwitted girl dares tangle with me
She's prissy, she's clueless, and I want her shoeless

Jitterbug
by The Wizard Of Oz Cast
Who's that hiding in the tree top?
It's that rascal, The Jitterbug!
Should you catch him buzzing 'round you,
Keep away from, The Jitterbug!
Oh! the bees in the breeze and the bats in the trees have a terrible, horrible buzz,
But the bees in the breeze and the bats in the trees couldn't do what The Jitterbug does!
So be careful of that rascal, Keep away from The Jitterbug!
The Jitterbug!
Oh! The Jitter! Oh The Bug!
Oh! The Jitterbug, Bug-a-bug, bug-a-bug, bug-a-boo.
In a twitter, in the throes, Oh the critter's
Got me dancing on a thousand toes, Thar' she blows!
It's that rascal, The Jitterbug!
Should you catch him buzzing 'round you,
Keep away from, The Jitterbug!
Oh! the bees in the breeze and the bats in the trees have a terrible, horrible buzz,
But the bees in the breeze and the bats in the trees couldn't do what The Jitterbug does!
So be careful of that rascal, Keep away from The Jitterbug!

Over The Rainbow (Reprise)
by The Wizard Of Oz Cast
[WITCH, SPOKEN]
Do you see that?
Tick...
Tock...
Tick...
One hour
That's how much longer you've got to be alive
And it isn't long my pretty, it isn't long!
I can't wait forever for those shoes - my feet are itching!
I'll be back, in exactly an hour, to claim what is mine
[DOROTHY]
I'm not going to cry...
I'm not going to cry, I-I'm not going to cry!
Oh, why did I ever leave home?
What was it that I was looking for that I couldn't find there?
If I could only lie down and sleep...
My poor shabby little bedroom
I used to hate it, but...
Oh what I wouldn't give for it now
That counterpane upon my bed, the flaking plaster overhead...
How I miss it now
Someday I'll wake, and rub my eyes, and in that land beyond the skies
You'll find me, and I'll be home!
Home...
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then...
Oh why...
Did I?
[GUARDS]
Oh-ee-ah!
Yo-ah!
Oh-ee-ah!
Yo-ah!

If We Only Had a Plan
by The Wizard Of Oz Cast
[SCARECROW & LION]
It's all gone to rack and ruin
'Cause we don't know what we're doin'
It's all gone down the pan
No! It has!
Things would be less distressful
And we might be more successful
[SCARECROW, LION, & TIN-MAN]
If we only had a plan
[TIN-MAN & LION]
Bet the witch would make a beeline
For a scarecrow, and a feline
And an overgrown tin-can
That's all I am- No, you're more than that!
[LION]
But I feel such a coward
I'd be easily overpowered
If we only had a plan
[TINMAN]
But we haven't, so...
[LION]
Look there's Toto!
Toto! He's come to take us to Dorothy!

Oh-ee-ah!

Dorothy
'There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home.'
Waking up in Kansas
Dorothy returns to the Farm!
Dorothy
'There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place....'
Aunt Em
Wake up, honey.
Dorothy
There's no place like home. There's no place like home. No place.....
Dorothy
Oh, Auntie Em, it's you!
Aunt Em
There, there, lie quiet now. You just had a bad dream.
Hunk
Sure.
Dorothy
But it wasn't a dream. This was a real, truly live place.
And I remember that some of it wasn't very nice - but most of it was beautiful.
But just the same, all I kept saying to everybody was, 'I want to go home!'
And they sent me home.
(All Laugh)
Doesn't anybody believe me?
Uncle Henry
Of course we believe you, Dorothy.
Dorothy
Oh, but anyway, Toto, we're home! Home!
And this is my room - and you're all here!
And I'm not going to leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all! And
Oh, Auntie Em, there's no place like home!!

The Wizard of Oz is a 2011 musical based on the 1939 film of the same name in turn based on L. Frank Baum's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, with a book adapted by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jeremy Sams. The musical uses the Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg songs from the film and includes some new songs and additional music by Lloyd Webber and additional lyrics by Tim Rice. It is the third stage musical adaptation of the film following the 1942 version for the St. Louis Municipal Opera (The Muny) and the 1987 version for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
After previews in the West End from 7 February, the musical opened on 1 March 2011, directed by Jeremy Sams, and closed on 2 September 2012. The roles and original cast included Danielle Hope as Dorothy Gale, and Sophie Evans as alternative Dorothy, Michael Crawford as the Wizard, Paul Keating as the Scarecrow, Edward Baker-Duly as the Tin Man, David Ganly as the Cowardly Lion, Helen Walsh as Aunt Em, Stephen Scott as Uncle Henry, Emily Tierney was Glinda the Good Witch of the North, Hannah Waddingham as the Wicked Witch of the West, and four different West Highland Terriers alternated in the role of Toto.
The role of Dorothy was cast through the 2010 reality television show Over the Rainbow, in which Hope won and Evans was the runner-up. After a similar Canadian reality TV search show, a Toronto production (starring Danielle Wade as Dorothy) began in December 2012 and closed in August 2013, and was followed by a North American tour. In April 2017 an Australian tour was announced including a season at the Lyric Theatre, Queensland Performing Arts Centre, the Capitol Theatre in Sydney, and at the Adelaide Festival Theatre.
The cast includes Anthony Warlow as the Wizard, with Lucy Durack as Glinda the Good Witch and Jemma Rix as Wicked Witch of the West. In 2023, the musical was revived at the London Palladium for a limited season, following a run at Curve, Leicester.
