Woggle Bug Performance Script

Step into the whimsical world of The Woggle-Bug, a 1905 stage musical based on The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum, the legendary creator of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The production opened in Chicago at the Garrick Theater (June 18, 1905) which was later demolished in 1961. The show was reviewed poorly and because it run for less than a month it was considered a financial failure. For over a century, The Woggle-Bug remained an elusive piece of Oz history, with its script largely forgotten. But now, readers and theater enthusiasts can experience Baum's lost musical for the first time in generations. With this newly available script, modern productions can bring The Woggle-Bug back to the stage, offering a fresh opportunity to rediscover this rare and quirky piece of Oz lore.
