  • The Wizard of Oz

    Today the Loyal Heights Elementary production of The Wizard of Oz opened at Ballard High. Étienne played a jitterbug and our friend Madeline played Nikko, leader of the flying monkeys.

    Étienne makes his entrance as the wicked witch orders the jitterbugs to soften the brains of Dorothy, tin-man, scarecrow, and the lion.

    Here, Étienne dances with Dorothy. The plan is to have Dorothy dance the shoes right off!

    I captured this great video of Étienne's dance.

    Maddie did a great job playing Nikko. She seemed jubilant as the wicked witch sent her off to capture Dorothy and Toto. Then changed her loyalty when the witch melted and gave Dorothy the broom.
