The dog is Todricks...and its name is....Toto.....he loves the Wizard of Oz

Shoes. Thank you so much 💓

Absolute best reaction I’ve seen to this masterpiece!! I tend to get a little disappointed when people aren’t familiar with the Wizard of Oz and can’t fully appreciate the genius on display, but you completely got it. Thank you for your fabulous reaction!

In keeping with the Wizard of Oz story, Scott (Scarecrow) sings about "Thinking", Mitch (Tin Man) sings about his "heart" being damaged and Avi (Lion) sings that he "can't be tamed"... each song appropriate to their characters

Detail at the end: Mitch has a heart, Avi has a hero’s pendant and Scott has a diploma. Margret R. Has already pointed to the behind the scenes video. Toto is actually Todrick’s pup.

Did you know that Todrick went to the same high school that Scott, Kirstie and Mitch went to? He was apparently 2 years ahead of them (3 for Mitch ). They also did another song with Todrick - Black and White but it was just Scott, Kirstie and Mitch joining with him. I think you would like it!🥰

Well that was fun! You got the concept right away, you wouldn’t believe the # of reactions I’ve watched that have no idea what’s going on! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

The walk to the front of the stage with the cast holding hands is such a broadway / live theater move to tell the audience we've reached the end of our performance. Yes, every little detail has meaning and is so well done.

You've been one of the only ones to mention the correlation of the Lyrics to the story and catching the changes and it makes me extremely happy. Most who react to this one miss what they did. Love it.

Best reaction to this ever, and I have watched MANY! THANK YOU for understanding from the beginning the mash-up that Todrick was creating, thank you for recognizing so many of the details with respect to lyrics, costumes and set designs, and thank you for recognizing each of their contributions to this masterpiece. I read somewhere that they made Kevin Toto because there weren’t enough singing characters, and that way, as the beatboxer (and since dogs don’t really sing) Kevin could be in every scene. I also recommend Black and White, as well as some of Mitch’s solo work (Your Power cover and Messer songs Angel’s Pray, Love Supply and Machine.

Finally! Enjoy it!

Omg your reaction is the best out of all 😂😂😂

I seriously just want to live in Todrick's brain, it seems like a fantastic place to be :D

Literal best reaction to this I have EVER watched!!!

OMG!!! This is gonna be epic! I am looking forward to the Lollipop Guild scene! I think we might have to have the emergency crew standing by! 😂😂😂

You had me laughing so much I was crying!! Such a hilarious reaction to this epic production. Todrick and PTX went all out for this and it's wonderful, no matter how many times I watch it. Kirstie's performance and singing was incredible and shows her musical theatre training and her stint on Broadway. Todrick choices in costumes, songs and sets are so well done.

avi as the lion tho 😍💜🦌 #DJantlers #DJsHerd

Finally someone who catches it all!

BY FAR my favorite reaction to this one. Keep up the killer work bud.

Okay, the popspring 2016. Why you not tell him. 15 min., 3 originals, and Michael Jackson. He will take 3 hours to listen to this!!! 😏😁😎

You mentioned the dog ... well that dog is Todrick's real life dog and aptly named Toto. The Wizard of Oz is Todrick's favorite movie and wanted to do something as a tribute or homage to the original movie. You will notice all the characters in the movie are in this one, except that the songs were modernized. At the end, I hope you noticed that Todrick incorporated the original cast/movie above them all singing.

Toddrick's dog is really named Toto.

Ah, one of my favorites!

I always love to describe this as a musical retelling. It's seriously just an alternate script for the movie in my opinion.

Who's with me in line to buy a ticket for the 90 minute production on Broadway?

The Wizard of Oz appeared on television for the first time just a couple weeks before I turned three years old. From then on, it was an annual event, a beloved part of my childhood and a major influence on me and all of my friends who sang the songs and acted out scenes and waited anxiously for the next year's showing. This recreation honors the original in a way I've never seen, and your reaction to the recreation is--by far--the best and most enjoyable I've ever seen, and also honors both the original and this version in a way that brought me such joy. Many, many thanks! ❤❤

This reaction was everything I hoped and dreamed! 😂❤ You're in good company, seeing the Lollipop boys broke us all. I remember reading somewhere that when they heard that they were going to be on The Sing Off that one of the first things Kirsten did was cry, and when asked why she answered that she was so thankful and happy that the world would get to hear Mitch sing. I have seen in various interviews every member of Pentatonix state that when it comes to vocals and ability that Mitch comes number one. That's saying a lot considering how overwhelmingly talented every member is, and having explored their solo discographies, I can understand why they say that. I highly, highly recommend that you add to your list (most of these probably are): - Love Supply/Machine/Angels Pray by Messer (Mitch's solo dance music) - Your Power by Mitch Grassi, beautiful cover of Billie Eilish's song, just don't choose the a capella version, it's a terrible fan edit, and Mitch's piano playing and overall arrangement add emphasis to the song. - Mars by Scott Hoying, both the original video and the live choir versions. If you liked Stargazer Lillies, you'll melt just as much with this song - Superfruit...everything. Every single thing they do is fantastic. I know Avi is already on your list, and you can't go wrong with any of his music, but his live version of House of the Rising Sun is something else.

This was an amazing reaction. I have never laughed so hard!! Tears streaming down my face, and I'm smiling ear to ear. Thanks dude!!! The Lollipop 🍭 scene got me too the first time I saw it. Too funny. Thanks again for a great reaction! Sending you love from Texas!!!

I enjoyed your reaction to this awesome video. Thank you for "getting it". They all did a great job.

I'm really glad u took the time to listen to the original & live too! I Salute!💕🙏🏻 🎶

I've watched more reactions than I can count to this awesome video, but yours is definitely my favorite! You picked up on all the subtleties that so many overlooked - plus your response to the actual performances is fantastic as well! Thank you for sharing your reaction with us!

Quickly become one of my favorite channels. Love the enthusiasm. ❤❤❤❤

According to the actual song page that you watched: Medley: Todrick Hall, Alex Kirk, Scott Hoying Arranged: Ben Bram, PTX, Todrick Hall Mixed: Ed Boyer I lot of talented people had their say in this project and it came out golden!

I'm so glad you already knew about Todrick. This collaboration is definitely epic, and there's another one he did with Superfruit plus Kirstie. (She was originally in the title line for "Black and White" but it looked so unwieldy she had Todrick take it out ("Black and White featuring Superfruit and Kirstin Maldonado" is rather a mouthful, yes). It's a great song and has a significant message in it about our modern educational system but the video is just so much fun to watch and the music is so catchy is gets ignored. I highly recommend it even if it never gets a reaction video (though it should). The BTS for it is a blast to watch, too. Also, I love EVERY song on his "Straight Outta Oz" album. Yes, he has a deep fascination with the Oz thing. I'm not sure if it's based on the movie or the books, though. I am amused that this video features his personal puppy, who is named, of course, Toto. :) Your reaction to this video was so fun to watch, sir. :D

I’m pretty sure Lipstick Nic is the one who did their makeup, not sure if she also did the costumes.

Yours has been my favorite reaction to this project out of all of them that I have watched. It was so similar to my own the first time I heard it. The creativity blows my mind! Also, bass notes get me too. ❤

I do not think I have ever enjoyed watching a reaction to this as much as I did yours!! Oh my gosh you had me laughing so hard!! Well done!!!

😂😂😂😂😂 "Rachel Berry could never go there." That's facts. Thank you for this reaction! You just made my entire day. Subscribed 🎉🎉🎉

Toto is played by Toto! (& yes Kevin😂)

As others have already said, absolutely the best reaction ever to this genius piece. You picked up on everything! I had so much fun enjoying it with you. Every time I watch it, at the end, when Scott sings, I think, this is my favorite note of the production, and then Mitch comes in and I think no that's my favorite part, and so on. I think you hit it when you named it a passion project. Todrick's first visual album Straight Otta Oz tells his life story through the OZ storyline. Other people have recommended Black and White featuring Superfruit; it is one song from the visual album. Three Todrick mashups I would recommend are (1) for similar production value "Peter Perry" - Peter Pan/Katy Perry mashup (2) for fun "90's Disney ft Shonsana Bean" because she is incredible t (3) 4 Lady Gaga, a favorite from his "4" series and lastly "Low" featuring Ru Paul - an Oz inspired original song, Thanks again Your reaction was so, so much fun.

Wow, I don’t think I have seen any other reactor with this much appreciation for all of the inspiration, planning, execution and passion that resulted in this marvelous video. Love it that you were so taken with every little detail. I think it was Toddrick’s all-encompassing love of the original that brought this to life, along with everyone else that then contributed. Maybe Glynda and Auntie Em were the only (tiny) pieces omitted - but even the monkeys got a cameo! It’s a fabulous tribute all around. Peace …

This is by far the best reaction to this wonderful production. You get it! Too many don't understand how intricate and brilliant this production is. Thank you for doing a reaction that recognizes the true genius of this labor of love.

Some of what you were saying in terms of the Rachel Berry comment, some of the difference that you are hearing could be where Kristen is placing the vowels and notes plus her own tone of voice. To me it sounds like Kristen is focusing her sound more in her head/nasal area, and is modifying the vowel of the word home to an "ahh" because it is less of a strain on the vocal chords and allows her to "belt" or "mix" (I'm not sure which she is doing here), allowing for the powerhouse sound. And with it being more forward placed in the nasal area, it cuts through more easily and clearly. The other singer has a different tone of voice so even when placing the sound in the same space, it will feel and sound differently. So while they both are able to sing those notes as a "belt" or "mix" sound (techniques that allow for a more fuller sound without killing your voice), they will sound different and everyone has their preference on what sounds more pleasing to them.

So many chills. This is also one of my fave movies. Thanks for your awesome reaction!

I just went back and re-watched your reaction to this, and when you had it paused on Mitch, Avi & Scott as members of the Lollipop Guild I realized something while you were still wheeze-laughing (so infectious, please don't ever stop that - I love it so much.): Scott looks like he's wandered off of a community theater set (appropriate); Avi looks like he lives with at least four daughters, and at least two of THEM are in the "dress up daddy" stage, using some of mommy's good blush which will get someone yelled at later; and Mitch just looks like an Old Key West (Florida) Gay day-drinking in the 90s who left his house with his golf cart keys but not his toupee. Oh my god. I'm laughing so hard I can't SEE.

Thank you for your wonderful reaction - someone besides me laughed all the way through... And loved the music!

Best reaction ever to this video!

I think Scott, Mitch, and Avi as the lollipop guild breaks everyone. Awesome as always, DJ. #DJHerd

I absolutely loved your reaction to this! I reacted like you the first time I saw it. Please, please, please do more Pentatonix! All of their music is amazing. Some of my favorites are Hallelujah, Imagine, Sound of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody, I could go on but that would take awhile. Lol 😅😂

Favorite reaction of the dozens I have watched....was crying watching your reaction to the Lollipop Guild! So glad you understood the concept from the very beginning 🥰 A pleasure to watch your channel.

Loved yer reaction ----- you added some point-forward, that I never caught ------ thank you so much.

It was produced/coordinated by Todrick & I believe he/his team managed to borrow most of the costumes through Broadway connections so that they didn't have to make so much from scratch.

I LOVE that you got the Kelly’s shoes reference! I’ve watched a few people react to this and they never pick up on that!

Okay, okay... You had WAY WAY WAY too much fun with this one!! It's contagious, so I was loving this again after hearing it many times! Great reaction... one of your best!

Your song recognition acumen is amazing. Great reaction.

Excellent reaction! I've watched so many reactions to this video and you are the first reactor I've seen who recognized and mentioned Liam Sullivan's "Shoes" song. Nice!

Great reaction!

You know Kirstie appeared on Broadway in Kinky Boots during one of Pentatonics breaks

Enjoyed your reaction to an outstanding work. This video is pure genius. Congratulations to Todrick Hall for a great concept which he ensured was brilliantly done by him and Pentatonix. Apparently the lovely dog is Todrick's. If you wish to see some more gorgeous dogs, watch Thank You. It's an original by Scott and some of the members' dogs are included. I think Thank You is one of their best songs. It was composed by Scott and his partner during Lockdown, so the lyrics pack a punch in that context. So simple and heart wrenching.

You definitely need to check out Avi's solo music! Change on the Rise is his most watched and his latest album is the Shooter Jennings produced Floating on a Dream really accentuates his 5 octave range. He also has a duet with Peter Hollens Black is the Color of my True Loves Hair that highlights his beautiful lower register. Subscribing for more Avi.

Kirsten did a full version of 'Over The Rainbow' at an annual Dog Awards show, where they were honouring all the dogs that have played Toto on stage and film kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gMWJYMVjnLrMYZc.html

Avi's part at the end? Gets me every time.

I love your reaction. Your hilarious.

Telling the Wizzard of Oz story with modern song snippets. It took Todrick Hall years to compile all the songs that would fit this and then put it together. It's pretty brilliant IMO! Sweet reaction! Thanks.

OK sir, this reaction got me hitting the subscribe button.

This was wonderful!!! Got cha good!! ❤

DJ's brain is going to melt. :)

I had so much fun watching you react to this. I was anticipating your lollipop guild reaction so giddily. I hope you do the behind the scenes as well.

This was the best reaction I’ve ever seen to this video! Def ya Todrick passion project. Also the dog in the beginning is his dog and it’s actually named ToTo because that’s how much he loves the wizard of Oz.

Don’t know if anyone has answered your question about “Rachel Berry couldn’t…” I think the main difference is Kirstin’s resonance tends to be far more forward in her “mask” or forehead/nasal area so it gives her tone a more pointed and bright resonance where Lea’s resonance sits lower or in her “chest” so it tends to be richer and more rounded. Both styles are completely valid and appropriate it just depends on the singer’s voice and style of music they are singing.

Well this is my introduction to you & your channel. You got me with how much you loved this and how you were losing it at the same spots as me. The lollipop guild is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. My only criticism to the video is that Kevin was squeezed out if most of the final section. He wasn’t highlighted but he was also chopped out if shot when there was plenty of room to squeeze in together is just cut out Avi’s arm. I thought he was adorable as Toto but I just don’t think he got his big moment. You can hear him but just not on screen. I didn’t know most of the songs but I’ve watched enough reactions to pick up most of them. I’d love to heat Pentatonix do a medley of Wizard of Oz songs. It would be epic. There is a video out there with a Kirstie solo singing Somewhere over the Rainbow and ofc it beautiful. I hope you have a PTX playlist because I need more of your reactions ✌️💚

This was my first ever Todrick Hall video that I saw an d I was instantly obsessed. Some other great songs to check out by him are any of his Disney mashups if you want to see covers and collabs but other original work that is just amazing are any of the songs off his Straight Outta Oz album or his Forbidden album

Todricks, Straight Out Oz, album is awesome. It is another tribute to his love of The Wizard of Oz and a journey he took when he was invited to do his own show. If you get the time you should watch the album from start to finish. Its over an hour long but very enjoyable.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Oh thank you for getting the "lion on the cold hard ground" bit its so disheartening when reactors don't pay attention and don't get that! i love your reaction to this it is genius Todrick has some issues but he is a genius too!

That's Todrick's dog!

best reaction I have seen to this yet! Thank you!

Great reaction - you are very quick!

What an awesome reaction! I love this collaboration, it brings tears to my eyes, makes me laugh, and blows my mind.

if you like oz stuff, kirstin did a tribute to all the dogs who played toto, singing somewhere over the rainbow! You can find it on her youtube channel along with her solo stuff, which is incredible aswell

Appropriate reaction for the lollipop guild 😂

Mind-blowing! Perfect in every sense and must have taken ages to plan. Full marks to everyone involved.

The costumes for the Lollypop Guild are flipping awesome. Kevin dressed as a dog is one of the funniest things I have seen all month. Great sports too.

OK there is a light sepia filter used. The real sepia tones are stronger they are the range from faded old yellow to deep dark brown. That gives an old warm vibe to photo's and a friendly funny vibe to movies. But it is important that the photo's and movies have a haze over it and the well known dark lines and crinkles. I call it the mafia/mobster vibe!

It's really such a shame that Todrick doesn't do this same sort of thing anymore. Great stuff ♡ But oldschool Toddy is still such a fun rabbithole to fall down if you've never experienced it before! Peter Perry Taylor in Wonderland Cinderonce Britney and the Beast Disney Dudez - trilogy Low - original & updated RuPaul Spell Block Tango Mickey Minaj Pentatodrix Haterz any of the "4" series Etc~☆

I don't know if I have commented on one of your reactions yet, but I am loving them!! You are so much fun! The Wizard of Oz, and derivative works, resonates with me as well... Especially as I am a "Friend of Dorothy" (as it were). Since you are an Ozian (Wizard of Oz / Wicked fan) ... And you also are from "Oz" (Aus), have you yet reacted to Defying Gravity, covered by SuperFruit (Scott and Mitch's side project)? If not, I hope you get to check it out and possibly react to it! Thanks for sharing these reactions!

This is still one of my favorite Pentatonix piece.

Wonderful, sunshine Thanks for great start of every my day 💙

Perfect reaction!! I love watching this video over and over again. So much fun! One of my favorite parts, you didn’t mention, is the “Oh wee oh” that Avi and maybe Scott are singing in the background of Todrick’s song. Just like the witch’s guards.

Great reaction 👏 they did an amazing job to a classic. The kind of video you can watch many times.

What a fun reaction! I’ve seen so many reactions to this piece and yours is up there with the best. Todrick is obsessed with The Wizard of Oz. One of the bedrooms in his house is a Wizard Of Oz themed bedroom with pieces he bought from the set of the movie.

I'm the guy that comments while watching and ends up with like, 5. But like, you're also the first person I've seen notice Shoes and I feel so much better lol. Also, why does Avi look like Old Gregg? Or am I just looking too hard for references now lol

This is surely a mandatory stop on the PTX journey.

Subbed for more PTX reactions.

You are so cute in your reactions and get such joy out of doing them!

New sub. You are just fun.

glad u enjoyed such a creative and entertaining video, it's amazing how all the songs fit into the story! the song that scott sang is Thinking Bout U, and has been covered by voiceplay, that really lets j none shine

That is Todricks dog named Toto

Thank you for making this fresh for me again! Your reactions were wonderful! ETA: I burst out laughing aloud along with you on the "lion/lyin' on the cold, hard ground" pun! Kirstin's Wicked Witch laugh makes a comeback in this short video from backstage on their current tour: kzfaq.infoa7D_500x05A
