''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'' is a musical play based on the novel of the same title by L. Frank Baum that premiered at the Toronto Civic Light Opera Company in 2000. The lyrics are by James Patrick Doyle and Joe Cascone, the music is by Doyle and the book is by Cascone who also directed. This company describes the show as the most requested in their repertory and revived it in 2002 and again in 2010.〔http://www.civiclightoperacompany.com/aboutus.html〕
==Background==
Joe Cascone, artistic director of the Toronto Civic Light Opera Company, had long wanted to stage a musical of ''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'' that was truer to Baum's original intentions, and as such, was able to incorporate various influences from the many adaptations of the story produced throughout the 20th century, including the original 1903 musical, the famous 1939 MGM film, the musical ''The Wiz'' and several others. In writing the libretto for the new musical, Cascone made Baum a character in the play as a narrator, also doubling as the Wizard. Composer and lyricist James Patrick Doyle was a long time Oz admirer who restored some of the music from Baum's ''The Maid of Arran'', the 1902 ''Wizard'', ''The Woggle-Bug'', ''The Tik-Tok Man of Oz'', ''Prince Silverwings'', and ''The Patchwork Girl of Oz'', which had not been heard in recent decades. The production premiered in 2000 at the Toronto Civic Light Opera Company, directed by Cascone with choreography by Lesley Ansell. Two original cast albums were released. One by Hungry Tiger Music in 2000, and one by The Civic Light Opera Company in 2002, featuring the revised score.
The Toronto Civic Light Opera revived the show in 2002 and again in 2010.〔(Official site and cast list for the 2010 revival )〕 Joe Cascone and David Haines, of the original and revival casts (as, respectively, Baum/Wizard and the Cowardly Lion), presented highlights of this musical as well as of many other Oz musical incarnations at the International Wizard of Oz Club's Winkie Convention at Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California, on July 9, 2011 as part of a concert entitled "Songs in the Key of Oz" which is also available on CD.〔http://hungrytigerpress.com/winkies_2011_registration.pdf〕
