This is a dramatic production from Children's Musical Theater of Minnesota. It was presented in 1981. This musical follows pretty well the book, leaving out a few parts as would be expected. It has all the characters important in the book, Tip, Scarecrow, Nick Chopper the Tin Woosdman, Jack Pumpkinhead, Woogle Bug, Glinda, Jinjur, Jellia, Mombi. I really disliked Mombi's character. She was too witchy and had too large a part. In reading the book she was more a mean sorceress, although she was ugly. She dominated the show in an ugly way. However the Tinman, Scarecrow and Tip were very good. The music was forgettable. I did find the song of Glinda talking to Tip enjoyable. "Look to your own heart for there you will find the courage to face tomorrow. There's no other heart that knows, look to your own heart."
