Todrick Hall is the brilliant mind behind this production! The man is genius! The transitions from song to song was flawless! He also collaborated with Scott, Mitch and Kirstie, in Black and White. Another amazing video! Also, from what I hear is that this was Kristy’s first time taking the lead and she was very nervous. If you didn’t catch it, watch how Scott looks at her so adoringly when she is clicking her heels, at the end. You can tell that he was so proud of her! Great reaction!

Todrick is a multi-talented creative genius. He also did another project on the "Wizard of Oz" theme called "Straight outta OZ", and another collab with PTX "Black and White". He actually attended the same high school as "the Trio", a few years ahead of them, so they were familiar with each other's work and he recruited them for this production. The concept of telling the Wizard of Oz story through contemporary songs was brilliant, and the execution was superb. Their background in musical theater productions in their youth was much in evidence here.

Todrick went to the same high school [EDIT: as corrected below-not the same school, but in the same district] as Kirstin, Mitch, and Scott, but several years ahead. He was on American Idol, briefly (I think he finished early in his season), but he’s become a huge KZfaq success story, with national tours and original music in addition to his mashups on YT (like this, they’re filmed very professionally). I highly recommend his original “Black & White” with Scott, Mitch, and Kirstin collaborating-the message in the lyrics is very insightful, and the song is really catchy.

If you thought this was funny, watch Pentatodrix - Todrick Hall making fun of Pentatonix doing Daft Punk. It's hilarious. Then watch Superfruit reacting to Pentatodrix! 😃

i am here watching, they were in childhood theater together

I am not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet, so I thought I would bring it up. I am not sure if you noticed this or not. I have watched a lot of people react to this and have not seen anyone comment about it. One of my favorite things about this is the genius play on song choices. The song choices still tell the story beautifully! Here's the run down: Somewhere over the rainbow-openinf Blown away-the tornado Wide awake-here waking up in oz Lollipop-the munchkins Shoes/short short men-getting the shoes Cups-the yellow brick road Thinking about you-scarecrow has no brain Damaged-tinman has no heart and it talked about a damaged heart Can't be tamed-cowardly lion acting tough I knew you were trouble-dorthy getting on to him Power-introducing the wizard of oz Teeth-introducing the wicked witch The mashup of home sweet home and the 3 home songs-dorthy going home I'm sorry for the long post, but I love this detail of the video. I love watching your reactions and congratulations on the milestone!

Here's the song list: Judy Garland - Somewhere Over the Rainbow Carrie Underwood - Blown Away Katy Perry - Wide Awake The Chordettes - Lollipop Kelly - Shoes 20 Fingers - Short Short Man Anna Kendrick - Cups Frank Ocean - Thinking About You Danity Kane - Damaged Miley Cyrus - Can’t Be Tamed Taylor Swift - I Knew You Were Trouble Kanye West - Power Lady Gaga - Teeth Mötley Crüe - Home Sweet Home Daughtry - Home Phillip Phillips - Home Michael Bublé - Home

Todrick Hall featuring Pentatonix ❤ He is a genius, and he can do ALL the things! I would love to see you react to other of his videos. :) he has done at least 2 other videos with "the trio". :) I believe that he and Kirstie (and maybe the others too?) are longtime friends. There's a behind the scenes of Wizard of Ahhhs video here on KZfaq if you are interested. :)

Why is it that everyone was amazed at the song selection, but failed to note that the “music” is the Pentatonix magic.

Toddrick Hall is a Broadway star has a KZfaq channel. He is super talented, he also writes, sings and makes his own music videos. Tou should check him out. He is also obsessed with the Wizard of Oz

do Superfruit Defying Gravity, it's Mitch and Scott singing from Wicked a broadway show of a pre-dorthy's visit to OZ

The Munchkin hair is one of the many things I like about this video. They all did an awesome job here. Thanks for the giggles.

Todrick has been on Broadway as Lola in "Kinky Boots" and as Billy Flynn in "Chicago". He's a very well-rounded performer.

Well, you’ve gone and done it again. Not only another great reaction, but you made me giggle right along with you! Loved it!

I'm just not ready to take the tree down yet! I took all the ornaments off, so it's not a Christmas tree anymore. Now it's just a winter tree and can stay up with the other winter decor..... right? Who's with me? 🎄🌲 And the blue lights are still on there. I just leave those unplugged when RSR isn't home.... and sometimes I happen to "forget" to plug them back in! 🤪😆 - Mrs. RockSolidReactions

Stellar choice, Kim, thank you! I've watched The Wizard of Ahhhs so many times and I love it more every time. RSR- fantastic reaction. I knew you'd get a giggle from the munchkins. Black and White by Todrick Hall featuring Kirsty, Mitch and Scott is also fire. As someone else in the comments mentioned, there's an important message in the lyrics. Have a great day!

My tree is still up! I wasn't ready for the Happiness, Joy and Spirit of Christmas to be over yet! I'll probably take it down this week? After the year we had just need something to make me smile!😊

I love, love, love this production and the other collabs that Todrick does with PTX such as "Black and White" featured in his "Straight Outta Oz" as others mentioned below. Todrick is amazingly creative and talented. From this, I had to look up the shoes song ("Shoes" by Kelly aka Liam Kyle Sulivan) and short men song ("Short, Short Men" by Gillette) from the Glenda scene - too funny. Todrick has done a lot! He did opening ceremonies of the Rose Parade a couple years ago. He Exec Produced and performed in Taylor Swift's "You Need to Calm Down" video and they won several awards for it including the MTV VMA and the AMA for best video. But as others have said below, he has a ton of amazing songs/videos on YT. His videos feature lots of celebrities like RuPaul (Todrick also appears on Drag Race as a judge/choreographer, etc), Tiffany Haddish, Jimmy Kimmel, Nicole Scherzinger, the list goes on and on and on. He is brilliant and adding PTX to anything automatically makes it a winner in my book! LOL

Great reaction! I couldn't agree more about them paying homage to every song they do by someone else. And yes, Kirsty is a Disney Princess!

There is a behind the scenes video of the making of this. Also a behind the scenes video of the making of the Black and White video with Mitch, Scott and Kirstie. And yes this was Todrick Hall's project. He came from the same town as Mitch, Scott and Kirstie (Todrick is older).

I cant get over how well they picked the songs that retold the story so well! The transition from Scott to Mitch with the “do you” was brilliant! Notice too Scott, the scarecrow wanted a brain so his song said “I’m thinking about” and Mitch, the tinman wanted a heart, so his words “my heart is damaged” Then Kirstin sings “you’re lying on the cold hard ground” to Avi who is a”lion on the ground” & as you said, just so so so well played! Kirstin dreamt of being on Broadway (which she has done now) so she was spectacular! A full production! Is there anything PTX can’t do? Nope. You might enjoy this clip from when Todrick, Kirstin, Scott & Mitch were ordering Starbucks in 2011 (pre-PTX)! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7ymn9h4trbVm6s.html

Todrick was a year ahead of them in high school and have known each other for quite some time.

This is a Todrick Hall production. He is wonderful you need to react to his stuff he pays for all his production.

Loved your reaction, It was nice to hear a reaction from someone who knows the Wizard of Oz enough to get how totally brilliant this was!

This is one of my favorites and I watch it at least once every other week. I also find it interesting that they used all of the songs about 'home' from this video in Pentatonix 'Home' mashup. That's a good one to watch too if you haven't watched it yet.

i don't like the original wizard of oz but their version I like. Todrick Hall is extremely talented. He has another song called Black and White staring Mitch, Scott, and Kirstin. This was Todrick's project, he went to school with the trio and reached out to ptx to do this video.

Yes, Todrick Hall is a rapper, I believe he first became known through American Idol, although he didn’t win. He is a very good friend of the folks in PTX, and has some other amazing collaborations with them.

Thank you Jennifer and Kim! Great choice! And great reaction!!!

Yesssss! I haven't even watched your reaction yet and I'm so excited! I love the Wizard of Ahhhhs and I know you will too! Ok, shut up and watch, Lisa!

Great reaction! Todrick's production level is always insane. As for that other version of "somewhere over the rainbow", Bruddah IZ is pronounced like the word "is". At least that's how all my Hawaiian relatives pronounce his name.

There is a 'making of' video of this out there too which is really fun and lovely. Todrick set it all up and the Wizard of Oz is his favorite movie. It was even his dog, whose real name is Toto!

Todrick Hall production featuring Pentatonix He has done others with Pentatonix too!

Todrick Hall does EVERYTHING! He's been on Broadway, he arranged the choreography for Beyonce at one time, he has written, produced, directed several touring shows complete with dancers, singers, and costumers. You absolutely MUST go see "BLACK & WHITE," his original song with the Pentatonix trio of Scott, Mitch and Kirstie. It is fabulous in every way!

I was curious, and looked it up earlier today. They used parts of 16 different songs to recreate this masterpiece. www.whosampled.com/Todrick-Hall/The-Wizard-of-Ahhhs/samples/ The songs featured are: Judy Garland - Somewhere Over the Rainbow Carrie Underwood - Blown Away Katy Perry - Wide Awake The Chordettes - Lollipop Kelly - Shoes 20 Fingers - Short Short Man* Anna Kendrick - Cups** Frank Ocean - Thinking About You Danity Kane - Damaged Miley Cyrus - Can’t Be Tamed Taylor Swift - I Knew You Were Trouble Kanye West - Power Lady Gaga - Teeth Mötley Crüe - Home Sweet Home Daughtry - Home Phillip Phillips - Home Michael Bublé - Home

I like them in munchkin costume also because it tells me “yes we are the acknowledged gods of a cappella but we don’t take ourselves too seriously”

Todrick Hall is about 6 years older than the Trio and went to a different high school but is from the same Arlington area of Texas. I think they all met up doing local community theater and became friends. Todrick is a creative genius. He made it to the Hollywood rounds of American Idol during one of the earlier seasons but he came into his own producing elaborate projects on KZfaq, combining his talents for singing, dancing, costuming and parody. One of his obsessions from a very young age has been The Wizard of Oz. This pop song mashup re-interpretation is one of his earliest productions. He later did an entire visual album (à la Beyoncé) entitled Straight Outta Oz that utilized the Wizard of Oz themes to tell a semi-autobiographical story of his life. It's a brilliant opus that I feel was under-rated and overlooked for Grammy consideration. You can watch the entire 70 minute video on his channel but I think most of the songs are also posted in separate videos if you want to react to them individually. Kirstin, Scott and Mitch are featured on the song "Black & White". Many well-known guest stars show up in other songs. Here's the wikipedia entry which details the tracks and the differences between the original 2016 release and the deluxe 2017 edition which added more songs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight_Outta_Oz My personal favourite (out of many great tracks) is "Papi" featuring Nicole Scherzinger. The word papi is Spanish for "daddy" but in the context of Wizard of Oz, is also meant as a play-on-words for "poppy" as in the field of poppies Dorothy and company encounter on their way to Oz.

Todrick is awesome. I love his YT video "Straight outta OZ" a video adaption of a wonderful show inspired by Oz, but with original music from Todrick. PTX is one of the many ft in the video. It's worth the time. And showcase some of Todrick's talents. :) Nice reaction here :)

This video is a MASTERPIECE! Todrick is a multi-talented singer/rapper/songwriter/actor/producer/director who grew up in the same town as Mitch, Kirstie & Scott. He was a few years older than them, but they were in musical theater together and he was a friend of the original Trio. He became famous mostly thru his KZfaq channel several years before PTX got together on the Sing Off. This was one of his videos and he invited them to be a part of it as PTX's star was very much on the rise at that point. He is a big Wizard of Oz fan and has done a number of productions with Wizard of Oz as a main theme.

What does Toddrick do?? What doesn't Toddrick do? He really is amazing. He was in the cover of Billboard magazine this last Summer. You could react to his stuff as well. But he has been very prolific through his LONG history on KZfaq.

Oh yes, another awesome reaction! Todrick Hall does some amazing things. You should definitely check out more of his music.

So, Todrick went to high school in Arlington, TX just like Mitch, Scott, & Kirstie but was a couple years apart from them. Todrick went to Bowie HS and they went to Arlington HS. Todrick was also on American Idol (9th season) and he made top 16. He raps, sings, dances, and lots more. He has a huge following of his own. Todrick loves Wizard of Oz and has a huge production called Straight Outta Oz (about 1.5-2 hour video here on YT) with a ton of famous cameos and duets. He is really good friends with Taylor Swift also.

Todrick is a genius creator.

One you can share with your kids.😊

Worth watching are the Sup3rfruit vlogs with Todrick - so funny! Fun reaction.

Todrick is a singer and choreographer and was on Idol. He's awesome. He's done a few things with superfruit. You should check those out!

Can’t remember if you reacted to Pentatonix’s home medley this last summer when they released their home ep but all the home songs at the end of this are featured in their home medley so a lot of us got Wizard of Ahhs vibes when we heard it. You think Todrick has a lot of tattoos you should see Mitch. He has a ton and keeps getting more.

As others seem to have already suggested, I'd totally recommend Todrick Hall's visual album "Straight Outta OZ". You can watch the songs in any order, but I'd say that it's best to watch in order... I think there's a movie version that puts them altogether... That way you kinda get the story of Todrick's life mixed with the Wizard of Oz... If you're familiar with the Wizard of Oz then I expect you'll pick out a bunch of the references. Todrick makes a load of fun and creative stuff, medleys, mashups, parodies... His own original stuff too, which includes a few different styles... Got everything from ballads to dance bops lol. I don't think he usually blocks reactors either, which might benefit you... Not sure if he claims... He has shown appreciation to reactors in the past though.

Todrick is an amazing gay icon who has a huge KZfaq channel. He's mostly a singer, but raps too, just like PTX does on some songs. He went to the same school/theater program as Kirstie, Scott, and Mitch, but a few years earlier. They even did a bunch of funny clips before they were famous, like ordering Starbucks, etc while singing. Todrick is obsessed with Wizard of Oz and Disney, so lots of videos on that you can react to. His original music is awesome, but not always family-friendly. Low (featuring Ru Paul) and Dripeesha (featuring Tiffany Haddish) are ones he did with celebrities, showing his success. He's done a few things related to PTX including a parody of their Daft Punk medley, his song Black and White, and several skits on the Superfruit channel. His most famous song is a gay anthem "Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels." Saturday Night Live even had a skit talking about Todrick which is really funny: www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D__6WuTmD2CU&ved=2ahUKEwja2dy1657uAhUNPa0KHXy1Ay0Qo7QBMAB6BAgFEAE&usg=AOvVaw1tPUOJPwvkVs2oQmg80ISD

Lol, I figured it was a no-brainer to let Kim pick! I would have agreed on the song, though! This is just such a cool video! I think it's crazy that Mitch looks exactly like the Tin Man in the movie! Am I the only one that sees that? Great reaction! Loved watching you laugh at the munchkins!! I just got my first tattoo! It's the Frozen 2 "snowflake/compass" thing with "Into the unknown" written underneath. I can't send pics in here or Patreon though! 😐

Absolutely loved your reactions... especially to the lollipop song!!! It makes me giggle every time I see it!

Great reaction! I included Iz's version of Over the Rainbow in my wedding playlist and got a lot of "Who was that??? " I love this video because they seemed to be having so much fun. There is a behind the scenes video where they talk about the costumes, making the video, and Kirstie's huge contribution in playing 3 of the major parts. Toddrick is from the same part of TX as the Trio, and he was a semi-finalist on American Idol about 10 years ago. He is a talented singer, dancer and arranger, and has a number of great videos out, including one with the Trio called Black and White.

So the error that comes with this song is it is the brain child of Todrick Hall featuring Pentatonix. He is the one that came up with it and asked them to do it. Also I too vote for his song Black and White. He also has a short video Called Blah, Blah, Blah with Todrick Hall and Joseph Gordon Levitt It is great also!

Alternate title: Kirstin announces her shoe/foot fetish to the world

I also had to laugh at the 3 deadpan faced munchkins singing "lollipop". lol It caught me so off guard. lol I don't know if it was meant to be a bit funny, but I found it a bit anyway. :)

Pentatonix singing Thrift Shop. Just for fun.

YES!! I love this so much.

that was dope

PTX does a beautiful version of Over the rainbow. There is no video, but you can literally hear Kirstin smile when she sings.

You mentioned Oklahoma. PTX recorded Oh What a Beautiful Morning in a collaboration with Billy Porter on his Richard Rodgers tribute album. No video, but worth a listen.

Would love to see them do a remake of wizard of oz.. the Pentatonix way. I know they would do it justice and still show respect for the original

Check out Superfruit react to Todrick parody of the Daft Punk video. Hilarious!

This isn't the original version. Someone added the words to the bottom of this video. They weren't in the original and some are clearly incorrect. It's Toddrick Hall featuring Pentatonix.

I do love this medley, but I'm not a huge fan of Todrick as a person because he has been accused of not paying his dancers among other things (Not paying dancers was proven, I think, but the others are just accusations but better safe than sorry) and talked some shit about Scott on twitter not long ago (he deleted the tweet or at least I couldn't find it, but the responses are still on twitter). It is a good mashup though and I love Kirstie getting the lead. Before any of you ask where I got that from here is a link of everything he has been accused of: www.insider.com/todrick-hall-allegations-against-entertainer-are-piling-up-2019-10

Don't stop at the climax.

It's Todrick Hsll, featuring Pentatonix, not the other way around.

I always hate it when people get that wrong. Seems so disrespectful. This is a Todrick Hall production featuring Pentatonix. You wrote it right but said it wrong. Haha

Luv your PTX reactions❣️🤙🏼 Here you go: Braddah IZ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jJeSedVjuL20YX0.html

Can you please react to Garbage song called Why do you love me Please

Nobo
