"There's got to be someplace, somewhere... Some space when there's nowhere that isn't dull and gray. There's got to be some way to leave, just make believe and you're on your way. You'll find that place, somehow, someway, someday!"

Ok, just got back from being a munchkin in the musical, "Oz, The Musical" and it was so much fun. Yesterday, I saw it. And it was even funnier. The Wicked Witch Of The West Side A.K.A Brenda, was played by a man. ANd this is not the Wizard Of Oz that you all know and love. It's an updated version. And the plot is more like it would take place in the hood. But the scarecrow thought that they should sing a song. So his song was... When I grow up, I wanna be famous, I wanna be a star, I wanna have groupies! Then they were all feeling down, so his next song... We're all in this together once we know we're all stars! And then the lion stopped him, and told him to get his head in the game. It was really funny. And when Brenda asked for Martha the spell book. This is what happened. Brenda: Martha, spellbook. Martha: Ok, B-O-O-K! Yes!
Then my favorite scene was when Brenda's first entrance came. He came in with a vacume. And then he's talking to Glinda and they're insulting each other like someone from Mean Girls. And she said her magic was good. And he's all, yeah, your magic's good... FOR NOTHING!!!!! Then Glinda's reaction was... It's not funny. And when he asked for his sister's shoes, this is what happened. Glinda Sorry, no can do. Brenda: What? Glinda: No. Can. Do. The shoes now belong to Dorothy. Brenda: You're kidding me right. Those shoes with that outfit? Ok, lemme make a deal with you, Dorothy, you gimme back my sister's shoes and I'll get you a pair of those boots with the fur. You know, with the fur!
It was all really funny. And the wizard's Box Of Stuff made me laugh. But my favorite scene was the ending when Brenda melted. WHen he started to die, he sang and dance like a maniac. Then he ripped off his wig. And when Dorothy called him crazy, he starts singing Rehab. (They tried to send me to rehanb) And another funny scene was when they were in Brenda's layer, and the two main flying monkeys Martha and Milton were there. And Brenda and the monkeys were trying to think of something to get Dorothy away from The City Of Green. And Brenda said that maybe if they put their heads together, they could think of something. So the 2 retarded monkeys actually put their heads together and start thinking. But they thought to hard, so when Martha came up with something, Milton fell to the ground when she moved. IT was all so much fun.
