Intro

Dorothy is a girl who lives in a farmhouse in Kansas with her Uncle Henry, Aunt Em, and little dog Toto.
One day the farmhouse, with Dorothy inside, is caught up in a cyclone and deposited in a field in the Land of Oz. The falling house kills the Wicked Witch of the East.
The Good Witch of the North comes and gives Dorothy the ruby slippers that the Wicked Witch of the East had been wearing when she was killed. In order to return to Kansas, the Good Witch of the North tells Dorothy that she will have to go to the "Emerald City" and ask the Wizard of Oz to help her.

Note：本幕集中体现了主要人物的性格。为控制语言难度，人物对话上体现的性格特点有限，需要带领学生使用肢体、表情、语音语调来增加表现力。为保持孩子的好奇心，不要一次把全幕故事都讲完，而是按故事的转折分段，以保持悬念。

计划课时：3课时。（Scarecrow, Tin man, Lion 各一课时，分段参见上文分割线。）

Act II

Finally the four reach the corridor to the Wizard’s Throne Room. They cannot see the Wizard, just hear his terrifying voice.
OZ'S VOICE
The Great Wizard of Oz. Come forward!
The four enter the Throne Room and find flame and smoke belching forth from the throne --
LION
Oh! Look at that! Look at that! Oh -- Ohhhh -- I want to go home -- I want to go home! (1)
OZ'S VOICE
I am Oz, the Great and Powerful!
The Four trembling and shaking with fear --
OZ'S VOICE
Who are you? (2)

Who are you?
The Four react with fear -- the others shove Dorothy forward -- she comes forward, speaks --
DOROTHY
I -- If you please, I - I am Dorothy,...the small and meek. We've come to ask you --
OZ'S VOICE
Silence!
Dorothy reacts, turns and runs back to the others --
OZ'S VOICE
The Great and Powerful Oz knows everything. Step forward,....
OZ'S VOICE
...Tin Man!
The Four -- the Tin Man shakes, speaks – comes wobbling forward --
TIN MAN
Ohhhh -- it's me!
OZ'S VOICE
You dare to ask me for a heart, do you? (3)
Tin Man trembling with fear
TIN MAN
Ohhhh -- yes...yes, sir -- Y-Yes, your Honor. You see, I don’t have a heart and…--
OZ'S VOICE
Quiet!
TIN MAN
Ohhhhhh!
The Tin Man runs back to Dorothy, Lion and the Scarecrow.
OZ'S VOICE
And you, Scarecrow, you dare to ask for a brain? (3)
the Scarecrow almost collapses -- then moves forward and salaams in front of the throne --
Scarecrow kneeling

Y-Yes -- Yes, Your Honor -- I mean, Your Excellency -- I -- I mean –
OZ'S VOICE
Enough! (4)
Scarecrow rises, runs back to Lion, Tin Man and Dorothy --

-- faints and falls to the floor -- Dorothy and the others run forward to him --

The great and wonderful Oz can help you. But first you must do something for me. (6) Bring me the broomstick of the Witch of the West. Now, go!...

Act III

The witch’s place-The witch watches her crystal ball and speaks viciously.
THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST
My broomstick? Ha-ha-ha-ha---- The play is on!... (1)
The witch summons the winged monkeys.
THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST
Go bring me the little girl and her dog! Be careful, don’t drop the ruby slippers! (1)
The winged monkeys take her order and catch Dorothy with her dog. The other three shout and run after the monkeys but they cannot catch up with them.
Back to the witch’s place-
THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST
Welcome! My little Dorothy. Nice to see you again.
Dorothy trembles with fear, holding Toto tight.
The witch stares at her ruby slippers-
THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST
Ah, ruby slippers…most beautiful-
When the witch reaches out for the slippers, she falls back because the slippers have magic power.
THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST
Oh, I almost forgot… I cannot get those slippers as long as you are alive!
The witch checks her crystal ball.
THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST
But before I kill you, I have to first finish with your little helpers. (2)
The witch grabs Toto from Dorothy and sets it loose. The dog runs away quickly.
THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST
Yes, yes, go find the trouble makers and bring them here! Ha-ha-ha-ha---
Toto reaches the other three. They follow the dog to the witch’s castle, only to find they are trapped by the witch’s guards.
THE THREE
Oh, we are trapped!

THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST
Ha-ha-ha-ha--- Loyal friendship, so very touching. But I’m afraid friendship won’t save your life!!
The witch lights her broom and tries to set the Scarecrow on fire. At this moment, Dorothy lift a bucket of water and throw it at the witch.
The Witch screams as the water hits her --she screams and melts away – the Witch curses as she disappears, finally only her cloak and hat remain on the floor -- her voice fades away --
THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST
Ohhh -- I'm melting! Melting! (3) Oh -- what a world -- what a world! Ohhhh! Ohhhhhh....
LEADER OF THE GUARDS
She's....she's....dead! You've killed her!
DOROTHY
I -- I didn't mean to kill her....really I didn't! (4)
The Four standing in front of the Winkies – the Leader turns to the others and speaks -- the Winkies kneel as they hail Dorothy --
LEADER OF THE GUARDS
Hail to Dorothy! The Wicked Witch is dead!
WINKIES
Hail! Hail to Dorothy -- The Wicked Witch is dead!

Act IV

The four go to see the wizard again, with the witch’s broomstick.
OZ'S VOICE
Why.......are you here?
DOROTHY
Please, sir. This is the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West.
OZ'S VOICE
Oh ....
DOROTHY
Yes, sir. Please keep your promise to us, sir.
OZ'S VOICE
Not so fast! Not.... so fast! I'll have to think for a while. (1) Go away and come back tomorrow!

Tomorrow? Oh, but I want to go home now. (1)
TIN MAN
You've had enough time already! (1)
LION
Yeah!
OZ'S VOICE
Silence!...Do not make the great and powerful Oz angry! (1)
DOROTHY
If you were really great and powerful, you'd keep your promises!
------------------------保持悬念的分割线----------------------------

Dorothy pulls back the curtain to reveal three men at the controls of the throne apparatus -- their back to the audience.
OZ'S VOICE
How dare you!! I said -- come back tomorrow!
Then the wizards find out that they are revealed; They look very ashamed. The others go forth to question them.
DOROTHY
Who are you?
WIZARD A
Well, we -- we – we are the Great and Powerful -- Wizard of Oz.
DOROTHY
You three?
WIZARD B
Uhhhh -- yes...
DOROTHY
I don't believe you!
WIZARD C
No, I'm afraid it's true. We are sorry.
the Scarecrow and Lion speak angrily --
SCARECROW
You humbugs!
LION
Yeah!
WIZARD A
Yes-s-s -- that...that's exactly so. We are humbugs!
DOROTHY
Oh .......you're very bad men!
The Wizard reacts, speaks humbly --
WIZARD B
Oh, no, my dear – We’re… we’re very good men. We’re just bad Wizards.
SCARECROW
You'd better be good enough to keep your promise! (2)
WIZARD C
Uh - now, please don't be angry with us. We’ll- we’ll do anything you say...
------------------------保持悬念的分割线----------------------------

WIZARD A
Well, Scarecrow, you want a brain, right? There are many people we call great thinkers. (3) They have no more brains than you have.... But! They have one thing you haven't got! A diploma!
The wizard awards the Scarecrow a diploma in a formal manner.
The Wizard speaks to the lion
WIZARD B
Now, as for you, my fine friend -- You think simply because you run away from danger, you have no courage. You're confusing courage with wisdom. There are many people we call heroes. (3) They have no more courage than you have. But! They have one thing that you haven't got! A medal!
The wizard awards the Lion a medal in a formal manner.
The Wizard speaks to the Tin man
WIZARD C
As for you, my sentimental friend, it’s lucky not having a heart.
TIN MAN
But I still want one.
WIZARD C
OK -- .... there are many people we call… good-deed-doers. (3) They have hearts no bigger than yours. But! They have one thing you haven't got! A testimonial!
The Wizard bends down and gets a heart-shaped watch from his black bag and presents it to the Tin Man in a formal manner.
WIZARD C
And remember, my friend....that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others. (4)
SCARECROW
Hey -- what about Dorothy? (4)
TIN MAN
Yes -- how about Dorothy? (4)
LION
Yeah.
WIZARD A
Ah – let me see…

------------------------保持悬念的分割线----------------------------
The Good Witch of the North appears in front of everyone
THE GOOD WITCH OF THE NORTH
Don’t worry my child. Look at your ruby slippers. They are magic. They can take you to anywhere you want!...But, are you ready to say goodbye to your friends?
DOROTHY
Oh, dear – I want to go home! But… it's -- it's going to be so hard to say goodbye. I love you all. Goodbye, Tin Man. Oh, don't cry. You'll rust again. Goodbye.
Dorothy hugs everybody and says goodbye.
THE GOOD WITCH OF THE NORTH
Are you ready now?
DOROTHY
Yes.
THE GOOD WITCH OF THE NORTH
Then close your eyes, and tap your heels together three times. And think to yourself -- "There's no place like home; (5) there's no place like home; there's no place like home."
DOROTHY
There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home…
