The Wizard of Oz is a musical based on the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, with a book adapted by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jeremy Sams. The musical uses the Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg songs from the film and includes some new songs and additional music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and additional lyrics by Tim Rice.
After previews in the West End from 7 February, the musical opened on 1 March 2011, directed by Jeremy Sams, and closed on 2 September 2012. The original cast included Danielle Hope as Dorothy Gale, Michael Crawford as the Wizard and Hannah Waddingham as the Wicked Witch of the West. Sophie Evans played Dorothy on Tuesday evenings and took over the role full-time in February 2012. The role of Dorothy was cast through the 2010 reality television show Over the Rainbow, in which Hope won and Evans was the runner-up. After a similar Canadian reality TV search show, a Toronto production began in December 2012 and closed in August 2013, and was followed by a North American tour.

at 2:45, if you pause the clip and read the altered sign: It used to read: "During performances, rehearsals and previews, mobile phones and electronic devices for personal use are strictly prohibited." Now it reads: "ring performances, arsals and bile phones and vices for personal use are strictly pored." ;L - Musician humour! - Can't be beaten!

@snakeman2493 From what I recall the instrumentation is something like - Trumpet - Trombone - F. Horn - Bb/Eb Clarinet - Tenor sax (or was it alto ?) - Bassoon - Flute/Piccolo (maybe other stuff) - Strings (1 bass, 1 cello, at least 5 violins/violas - couldn't tell from where I sat) - Harp - Keyboard - Percussions Maybe other stuff, that's what I saw in the pit when I went and watched it. The pit is very open so you can watch the musicians easily.

questions about the pit: 1) what is the instrumentation for wizard of oz (please give me doublings too if there are any)? 2) who is your youngest pit musician? 3) who is your oldest pit musician?
