That dress change is perfect 👌😁

[@J-dog794]

I'm so absolutely entranced at Dorothy's costume change from blue dress to green dress at 2:48. It's so impressive, and it makes me so happy and giddy like a child every time I see it.

[@romeo_scorpio]

Whoever plays Dorothy is perfect , that costume change is flawless ☺️

[@No-br5pt]

I love the dress transformation

[@laurenjcoates]

I’m a sucker for a great quick change! What an amazing production! Beautiful costumes and set, not to mention awesome choreography and great performances!

[@ValentinaVariety]

The women of emerald city look so glamorous and so regal, I love this scene

[@ineffablemars]

That dress change!! That was like magic 🪄

[@jbg4476]

You can tell they got inspiration from wicked I love it

[@bigred8432]

🙄 Wicked took inspiration from The Wizard of Oz. Both of these shows are drawing on illustrations form the original book series. But save for being green there are few similarities

[@Arthus850]

@@bigred8432 I’m pretty sure they’re referring to this particular musical version and its visual and performance style taking inspiration from Wicked.

[@bigred8432]

@@Arthus850 Yes they are and I am pointing out that Wicked is based on the same illustrations.

Fun fact originally Dorothy met Gloria in the emerald city and Gloria sang merry o land of oz with the ozians

[@AllieInWonderland]

I don’t get how people didn’t applaud that quick change, it’s one of my favorites if not, my favorite quick change in a musical!

[@TheMaestroCraig]

Usually production numbers like this one are performed at a "media call" specifically for the purpose of having footage that can be shown as part of a local television news item and other publicity purposes. There is no audience present, just a pool of media crews and reporters. That's why you aren't hearing any audience reaction on this clip. I think it's worth a round of applause too and would hope it did in performance.

2:37 lyric update for the near rhyme: “Whether you’re tin or bronze…”

[@ajaqua6965]

Amazing dress change. I love her acting through the change as well. The only issue with the change is that even she knew it spun too high. As she spins look at her arms as she tries to make it lower.

[@greenergrass4060]

The dress change was amazing, but her skirt spun too high though :'

[@cruisindownthestreetinmy6490]

I saw this show!!

[@mbrii]

Ok best quick change ever ❤❤❤

[@girliboi]

still bitter to learn the lyric is 'brass' ('bronze' was RIGHT THERE), but the dress transformation helps me get over it..

[@rosecarmeline]

absolute perfection

They took a cue from the wicked set when it came to the emerald city costumes.

[@aaronying4989]

How did Dorothy’s dress even change? It wasn’t pull away Velcro. She just spun around 😮😮

[@danielswizzle3706]

Honestly I rate Samantha Dodemaide as a truly amazing actress but she’s brunette naturally so the risk of not pigtailing actual hair and getting to that moment where it’s a wig in the same hairstyle means that wig you can detect joins and everything, wigs change looks but when you cast a brunette from the start and opt to make her look fake.

Dang!

OK HOW DOES HER DRESS CHANGE LIKE THAT AT 2:48, LIKE I NEED ANSWERS

[@hollysmith4972]

The top and the front pannel of the skirt are doubled up, with the blue on top and the green under it. As she spins you can hear the Velcro when she pulls away the top, then wraps the blue front panel around to make a green skirt. The original top is tucked in the back between the two panels! Hope this helped! It took me a few watches to see it!
