If you see it as that, you can allow the music to take you "over the rainbow" almost as well as the movie itself. Now keep in mind, it is a concert, not a play or movie, so the performers aren't really acting so much as saying lines and using representative rather than literal costumes and sets to hold the songs together. I was especially glad that they put in the legendary "Jitterbug" song and sang the extra lyrics to the songs featured in the movie. Anyway, for many Oz-philes, this should prove to be an enjoyable experience, if you don't mind seeing bits and pieces removed or added and the songs done in different styles. Heathers The Musical is a black comedy but despite the comedic element it deals with some. My favorite was, of course, Nathan Lane as the Cowardly Lion ("If I were king of the forest/Not queen, not duke, not prince "). Heathers The Musical Script - full script and PDF download below. I was absolutely mesmorized from the start, and I even kept the channel on during commercial breaks, which I don't usually do. I later found out about where the other performers were coming from (Roger Daltrey from the Who, Joel Grey from Broadway, etc.). I had only heard of Natalie Cole, Boys Choir of Harlem, and Nathan Lane (as the voice of Timon in "The Lion King"). I was kind of disappointed that there weren't any "big" stars there, though. I had just finished reading the book, and I had just seen the movie for about the millionth time. I was elated to see it because I absolutely loved everything Oz. I saw this special the first time it was broadcast on TNT on Thanksgiving weekend.
