Audition Monologues 

AUDITION LINES: Please memorize these

Line 1(Aunt Em): Henry! I can’t find Dorothy! She’s somewhere out in the storm!

Line 2(Guard): Nobody can see the great Oz! Not nobody, not no how!

Line 3(Leader of the Winkies): The Wicked Witch is dead!

AUDITION MONOLOGUES: 

GLINDA (Female character):

Are you a good witch or a bad watch? Or is that the witch? Well, I’m a little muddled. The munchkins called me because a new witch has dropped a house on the Wicked Witch of the east. There’s the house, and here you are. And that’s all that’s left of the wicked witch of the east. And so, what the munchkins want to know is, are you a good witch or a bad witch? 

DOROTHY (Female Character):

Aunt Em! Aunt Em! Just listen to what Miss Gulch did to Toto. Aunt Em, she hit him and . . . Oh, but Aunt Em, Miss Gulch hit Toto right over the back with a rake just because she says he gets into her garden and chases her nasty old cat. But he doesn’t do it every day, just once or twice a Week and he can’t catch her old cat anyway. Now she says she’s going to call the sheriff!

WICKED WITCH (Female Character):

I have an important task for you. My enemies are about to enter the Haunted Forest. I want you to rouse your men and snatch the sickening little girl and her equally nauseating little dog. I'll conjure up a spell to take the fight out of her. Now which of my creepy crawlie creations shall I send to plague her? Aha! I have it! The jitterbug! There is no more infectious bug in my book of spells. Once bitten, they can never stop dancing till they drop! And when they do, you shall be there to scoop up the little brat and the little brute and bring them both to me! Now go!

LION (Any gender):

Courage! What makes a king out of a slave? Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage! What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist, or the dusky dusk? What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage! What have they got that I ain't got? Courage! You can say that again!

SCARECROW (Any gender):

Pardon me, that way is a very nice way. It’s pleasant down that way, too. Am I confusing you on purpose, of course not. You see, I can’t make up my mind because I haven’t got a brain, only straw. How can I talk if I haven’t got a brain? Hmmm, well some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don’t they?

TIN MAN (Male character):

(talking through a closed mouth) Oil can. Oilllll caaaaaan! My mouth. The other side. My, my, my, goodness. I can talk again! Oil my arms, please. Oil my elbows. It feels wonderful. I’ve held that ax up for ages. It was about a year ago that I was chopping that tree and suddenly it began to rain. Right in the middle of a chop I rusted solid.

WIZARD (Male character):

Come forward. I am Oz the great and powerful. Who are you? WHO are YOU? Silence! The great and powerful Oz knows why you’ve come. Tinman, step forward. You dare to come to me for a heart, do you? You clinking, clanking, clattering, collection of junk.
