The Witch's Songs: Exploring the Evolution of Musical Theater in "The Wizard of Oz

By admin

The Wizard of Oz is a timeless classic that has captivated audiences for generations. One of the most memorable characters in the story is the Wicked Witch of the West. Throughout the story, the witch is portrayed as a villain, constantly trying to thwart Dorothy and her friends' quest to find the wizard. One of the most iconic parts of the Wicked Witch's character is her signature song, "Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead." This song is sung by the Munchkins after Dorothy unintentionally kills the witch by causing a house to fall on her. The lyrics of the song celebrate the witch's demise and the end of her reign of terror.

Each card is complemented by a wonderfully written poem by Bob Smithies, they are short and give a fun condensed meaning of the card which is another really brilliant way to make the meanings memorable without having a list of key words. The Young witch is clever, funny and beautifully done, aimed at the young witch or anyone who is just beginning their Tarot journey, but I think this deck would be perfect addition to anyone s Tarot collection, this one comes highly recommended from me.
