Scarecrow when he starts to dance with the jitterbugs: This is kind of fun

[@thefinalgirlie]

I wish the witch acted more like the witch (voice wise)

[@marymusttdiee]

@@zehra9258 yup

[@pianofry1138]

I'd imagine it would be a pain to sing with that kind of accent. I do wish she would have talked in that accent though.

[@inigo7780]

She has a pretty voice. Glad she sang with it.

[@freakshowfilmfestival3591]

Eh, highschool. 🤷

[@leahtv7778]

You have to keep in mind that the witch is a role in the story of WOO, not Margaret Hamilton. Any woman who plays the witch should have her own take on it, not just try to be like Margaret Hamilton. Everyone who liked your comment needs to read mine

*I'm sorry but this is the best song in the whole damn show.*

True I’m doing the show and it really is fun

[@jamesaustin1988]

I KNOW I wish they didn't cut it from the film.

[@queennyasha1]

I agree. I'm always so sad it was cut from the film. I choreographed The Wizard of Is & this was my favorite too!

When the main cast and the jitterbugs are doing the dancing together thing, you can see lion & the girl they were with had NO idea how to do it 😂😂

[@hopemcintosh1637]

The mains did such a good job being in character. They didn't just speak their lines (like in so many shows I see) but they genuinely acted them out. Awesome job :)

The witch's costume is on point, but...she isn't exactly acting evil-ish. Edit: Ohhh goodness...I didn’t think a comment I made over three years ago would have some kind of thread...this was just my personal opinion 😅.

[@adellelucille]

Agreed. I’m in the Wizard of Oz play at the moment I’m Dorothy. But our witch just naturally has a witch voice 😂

[@chlo6734]

she’s not evil. u would know if u watched wicked

[@rileylyn3763]

Coco typically in the Wizard of Oz she’s evil, this isn’t Wicked tho. They are two different musicals

[@txmpanii]

Coco This was based off the 1930’s movie Wizard Of Oz,way before wicked existed so your comment doesn’t fit with the scenario.

[@mousehousegaming_mcpemore9940]

Why is the witch singing if the main characters (not including the witch) are supposed to sing...

[@GmailAmyE978]

I don't know. but I like it actually. it makes more a bit more sense to me for the witch to sing about them than Dorothy, who has never been to Oz and wouldn't know about the jitterbugs....The witch would sing it more sinisterly than Dorothy of course.

[@mooncatcherr4267]

MouseHouseGaming_MCPE & More! I know Dorothy sang it in the original but the witch singing it makes a lot more sense. How would Dorothy know what they are?

[@Sophia-ro9xf]

I just read about this song being deleted from the original Wizard of Oz movie. I have to say that it fits in pretty well with the storyline of the movie... too bad they deleted it. However, thanks for putting this video up so I can see it. It was well done and fun. The actors/singers/dancers were wonderful.. Bravo!

[@jonathanmarkoff4469]

It's a good song but it bogs down the drama. Most songs in TWoO advance the plot or help define a character, but this one really doesn't. Its loss doesn't really hurt the movie.

This play is overall very well done. Being a lifelong fan of the film, I am very impressed that the play included the delayed Jitterbug scene that never made it into the movie. Nice!

[@jayboywilder1107]

Toto and we did a play at early and I was one of the jitterbug

[@censusgary]

That was more like the Charleston than the Jitterbug. To be fair, in the cut scene from the movie, they don’t exactly do a Jitterbug, either.

[@jonathanmarkoff4469]

In 1939, Jitterbug was just a generic term for a lively dance. It didn't get its specific designation until the 1940s.

[@joomrichardsmusic]

Wonderful ❤

[@MichelleJuelle]

Reminds me of my childhood ❤😂🎉

[@abeanwithintentions]

So I’m a jitterbug in a school play. We started choreography last week, and it is waaaaay more difficult than this.

[@sofiaflick3541]

a bean with intentions Yeah I learned this dance for a callback and it was much harder than the dance in this musical; the kids in this production do look fairly young though so I don’t blame them for having simple choreography.

[@kathrynsears2085]

fantastic!

[@spaceyspirit4025]

I have to be three peeps in the Wizard of Oz and one of them is the Jitterbug. Dancing is gonna be great

[@izzyk0262]

The lion is amazing!!

[@Radien]

I have no complaints about this performance; it's actually a real quality youth production. I'm impressed. I just feel like the song was out of place, and it's probably best it was removed. It was basically 1930s fan service - the only reason it was added in was because the jitterbug had recently become a popular dance. Fun song, though. Good songs that are removed because they feel out of place are nothing new in the world of musicals, especially movie musicals.
