Based on the novel by L. Frank Baum, adapted from the 1939 movie.
Note: The characters in Oz are meant to be reincarnations of the characters from Dorothy's real life. Therefore, they are meant to be played by the same actors. Some companies, however, choose to cast the parts separately to increase the cast size and eliminate the need for difficult costume/makeup changes.
The munchkins are usually played by a chorus of children.
