The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (book): the tin woodman, Nick Chopper, carries an ax because he is a woodman who cuts wood for a living (hence the name) and he uses it to cut wood as well as for self defense. :)
The Wizard of Oz (movie 1939): the tin man, Ozian counterpart of Hickory the Farmhand, has an ax because he was using it to cut wood before he rusted, but it’s never really specified that it’s his profession or explained why he carries it around the whole movie.
Wicked the Musical: nobody knows how Boq got an ax and frankly, he probably shouldn’t be allowed around sharp objects unless they are baby proofed for him.

I had a head cannon that Hickory/tin man from the 1939 version of Wizard of Oz did drag just based on his vibes so I looked up “Jack Haley in drag” just to see if anything would come up and lo and behold

everyone should think about all their favorite characters doing drag. it’s healthy

What do you think of the theory of Nessa and Dorothy being counterparts?
You know, the theory on the original Wizard of Oz movie, everyone having a counterpart in Oz, except Dorothy, and that would be because she killed her counterpart.
Something about there not being able of existing 2 Dorothys, and that’s why her arrival killed Nessa in the process?
(Also, something about there being a magical in Oz for them not to recognize the counterparts, like how Dorothy only manage to see that after she woke up and saw the Kansa’s counterparts.
Oh, what an interesting theory!
Fiyero already having an established "counter-part" in Hunk, Boq with Hickory, and Lion with Zeke, it would be fascinating to think that Nessa is Dorothy's "other."
What a fascinating thought!

Oc Info Questions: Dorothy Gale (MGM, or book version of you prefer)
FULL NAMES: Dorothy Louise Gale.
NICKNAME(S): None.
FACECLAIM: W.W. Denslow's iconic illustrations:
Tumblr media
Or Judy Garland in the classic movie.
Tumblr media
BIRTH: March 20, 1894 (books) or 1926 (movie).
(I assume the original book takes place in 1900, when it was published. But according to the date on the Munchkin coroner's death certificate for the Wicked Witch of the East, the movie takes place in 1938, when it was filmed - it just looks earlier because the backwater Kansas farm county hasn’t caught up with the rest of the world, while Oz is a non-industrial magic land. I also assume that Baum's Dorothy is six years old in the first book, but movie Dorothy is twelve. For her birthday, I picked the eve of the Spring Equinox because it seems right for such a fresh-faced, innocent girl.)
DEATH: N/A: She lives in Oz now, which means she's immortal, because no one ever dies in Oz as long as the rightful ruler Princess Ozma is on the throne.
(Just because I want to, I'm headcanoning that Oz is a real place in the movie too – the ruby slippers' magic just makes it seem like it was a dream – and that Dorothy will eventually move permanently to Oz and bring Aunt Em and Uncle Henry with her, just like she does in the book series. Hunk, Hickory, and Zeke will come too, and become good friends with their lookalikes, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion.)
ZODIAC SIGN: Pisces.
SEXUALITY: Unknown.
GENDER: Female.
ORIGIN: The state of Kansas, USA.
NATIONALITY: US American (Caucasian).
FAMILY: Henry Gale (uncle), Emily "Em" Gale (aunt), Zebediah "Zeb" Hugson (distant cousin by marriage), William "Bill" Hugson (aunt's brother-in-law), Toto (pet dog), Eureka (pet cat), Billina (pet chicken).
CHARACTERISTICS:
+ Friendly, loving, determined, brave
– Sometimes too dreamy, occasionally rash and thoughtless
WEAPON OF CHOICE: A bucket of water in the Witch's castle.
OTHER PERSONAL INFO: Dorothy is one of the most iconic heroines of both children's literature and Hollywood, and rightfully so. Her blend of sweetness and tenderness with spunk and determination makes her easy for every generation to love and relate to.

ok ok ok so since wicked (2003) sets it within the universe of the wizard of oz (1939) in which oz (according to Auntie Em) is just a dream and "you were there and you were there and you were there" what ramifications does this have in oz? If Professor Marvel is the Wizard and the Wizard is also from "our world", when he leaves Oz are his two souls unified or something? Is Professor Marvel aware of Oz? Is it just a weird dream to him? In one world he is a down on his luck magician and in the other world he is a very successful yet morally corrupt world leader. What about Hunk, Hickory, and Zeke?? Poor Zeke, in the other world he is an anthropomorphic lion! But, he was a cub in Act 1 and then grew up by Act 2, so is he the youngest of all the farm workers??? Yet he looks around the same age if not older. What is the time conversion between Oz and Kansas? How do they manage their two lives?

No because this confirms that Oz and Kansas are still connected in this canon.
This has so many implications
Was Almira (Elphaba’s counterpart) a good person in the past? Is she still one at heart? Did she have a sister who was wheelchair bound?
Did she know Glinda’s counterpart (for storytelling sake, let’s assume she’s Dorothy’s mother) when they were young?
Did they know Hunk and Hickory (Scarecrow and Tin Man’s counterparts) as well? Was Hunk rich at one point? Did Hickory love Glinda’s counterpart? Did he date Nessa’s counterpart?
Was Zeke a kid when this all went down? How does Professor Marvel fit into all this? Is he Almira’s father? Is he the wizard?
Does Dorothy know?
So many questions, so nonexistent answers

I wont be shutting up about this for the rest of my life.

Toni Rembe Theatre’s OZ
Experience the enchantment and wonder of "The Wizard of Oz" brought to life in a dazzling musical production at Toni Rembe Theatre. This beloved classic, based on the timeless book by L. Frank Baum, is a feast for the senses with music and lyrics by Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg, accompanied by background music composed by Herbert Stothart.
Under the masterful direction and choreography of Sam Pinkleton, the talented cast takes center stage, delivering sensational performances that will leave you spellbound. Chanel Tilghman shines as Dorothy Gale, capturing the essence of this iconic character with grace and charm. Alongside her are the incredibly talented El Beh as Uncle Henry, Oz Guard, and Coroner, showcasing their versatility by also playing the cello, and Darryl V. Jones as the endearing Tin Man and Hickory.
On some days, Katrina Lauren McGraw mesmerizes as Glinda and Aunt 'Em, while Danny Scheie brings the Scarecrow and Hunk to life with his impeccable comedic timing. Cathleen Ridley roars onto the stage as the Lion and Zeke, captivating the audience with their powerful presence.

Their expertise ensures that the music and melodies resonate beautifully throughout the performance. The dedication and talent of David Moschler as the music director and Leigh Robson-Davis as the associate director further elevate the production to new heights.
