Some Tincrow Moments From The Wiz Production I Just Saw While It’s Fresh In My Mind
Note: I had never seen the stage version of The Wiz before last night, so I could be missing things and points. Also, my memory might be just a bit fuzzy on exact details, but I know this stuff mention did indeed happen at some point.
Avery Wilson was Scarecrow and Phillip Johnson Richardson was Tinman. They absolutely killed it. Everyone did. I’m going to need a cast album and pro-shot please!
Scarecrow is a dance God once they get him off the poll in time for “You Can’t Win”. Why they kept Michael Jackson on a damn poll in the movie despite the fact that his dance moves would've been really cool for Scarecrow, I’ll never know.
This is the first direct Oz retelling I’ve seen to give Scarecrow a human backstory (Wicked is more of/better off seen as it’s own thing in my opinion). He was once a scientist who got his brain taken by one of the witches and turned into a Scarecrow. I don’t remember if it’s mentioned if he had a family in this show—it might’ve not been—but if he did I guess he would’ve completely forgotten because he “has no brain”. And I might be wrong, but I think it was mentioned he had a name too, but if so I don’t remember it. I find that interesting and fun to play with, especially if one would be able to compare and contrast that with Nick Chopper’s backstory (and/or whatever the Tinman’s name might be in this version of Oz; guy collects names like candy). I would have to see The Wiz again in order to do that myself, but you know, I like the idea.
Tinman’s backstory is slightly different. He was too gay and sassy for his own good, saying one of the witches was a “rusty” singer, causing her to turn him from a lumberjack into a “heartless” Tinman who gradually lost almost all of his memories outside of the mere fact that he once had a family due to this curse. He thinks he doesn’t have a heart because he can’t remember the ones he loved, just that he used to. Nimmie Amee isn’t a part of his story in this show. That’s about as tragic as the backstory Baum gave him, if not worse.
Give me an angst with a happy ending AU where Tinman and Scarecrow knew each other as humans but both forgot due to their curses, only to rediscover each other through their found families. Imagine Scarecrow having Nimmie Amee’s original role in a way—noooo—
Scarecrow mimicking Tinman’s rusty dance moves while they oil him (he mimicked a lot of people throughout the show—Dorothy, the wizard’s announcers calling his name, maybe etc., so I guess it was just his cute little thing).
When Dorothy’s trying to convince the gang to bring Lion along Tinman says “Are you sure? We already have to bring Captain Brainless?” (or something a lot like that, I'm paraphrasing), thinking they had too many already as if his husband wasn't first in line on the journey before him, only for Scarecrow to say, “I’m captain?!?!” *Insert cute happy head waggles* (Hits different when you know Scarecrow becomes the ruler of Oz after the first book till Ozma’s found, but his leadership wasn't mentioned in The Wiz so maybe that's not on purpose) I adore Avery Wilson’s take on Scarecrow. Tinman has always been my favorite of Dorothy’s friends if I had to pick one, but Wilson’s performance really made Scarecrow stand out even more than usual. I don’t know if I can explain it, it might just have to be seen; pray there’s a slime tutorial out there.
Lion’s kinda gay too, but in solo. And I know Ozma’s not here, so there’s not really any evidence for Dorothy’s queerness… but she is—I can feel it in my lesbian soul, okay!?!?
All of Dorothy’s friends not only want their gifts, but don't see the point in their existences without them. It made me sad for them.
I don’t know where to mention it, but Toto’s not in this show at all—poor guy. EDIT: I just learned that in the original production, Toto was played by a white dog as a joke that there was an all-black cast as opposed to him traditionally being a black/brown dog with a white cast. That is hilarious—why didn't they recreate that???
Tincrow’s only straight-feeling moment is with them both being distracted by the poppies (which caught me off guard in this show because traditionally Scarecrow and Tinman are the only ones not affected by the poppies because they’re not flesh and blood like Dorothy, Lion, and Toto; in this Dorothy was the one to break everyone free from them. I’ve been trying to understand the purpose of this change. Maybe to give Dorothy a bit more agency). The poppies were these sensual flower ladies trying to convince the gang to be lazy, which on it’s own is a fun twist on the flowers that put Dorothy and Lion to sleep. But hey, maybe that makes it not straight, just lazy. I'm all for Bi4Bi Tincrow too.
After the Kalidahs attack they comfort and hype each other and Dorothy up (Dorothy’s their sapphic adopted daughter, in this essay, I will—).
I forget when exactly this happens, maybe during the Kalidahs scene, but at one point they casually cling to each other's arms for no(?) reason. They just met and they’re already married.
Scarecrow backup-singing a little before everyone else joins Tinman during “What Would I Do If I Could Feel” (at least at my showing, I don’t know if this is a regular occurrence as a part of the show or just something that happened to happen at mine).
Making fun of the Wicked Witch together, calling her smelly, and having Lion join in. Bros, that’s what got you in trouble to begin with—messing with a dang witch!
Interestingly, the idea of Dorothy’s friends having they’re gifts all along isn’t here. Instead, it’s implied that after they kill the last wicked witch the curse is mostly lifted, with Tincrow’s gifts returning to them, but they stay a scarecrow and tin-man for some reason. I like to think they still had them all along though, that idea’s too cute and sweet for me to let go of.
The last time we see them they leave the stage together, Lion going ahead of them to reunite with his mom. I can’t explain why this feels important to me. I guess because usually characters exit the stage individually as like a goodbye queue to the audience, knowing that that last step off the stage will detemand the last impression of the characters. So the fact that the last impression of both of them is them together feels special. Or maybe it’s just me.
They both had such sassy black queer vibes the whole time. The show itself already has such sass, but both of them, Scarecrow especially, were oozing it in different fonts. They were giving off bear x twink—or maybe otter couple vibes.
Gay or not, The Wiz is so great! I recommend it so much!

Across Oz
A lot of people have compared Team RWBY to their contemporaries in the Ozluminati, as well as the Ozluminati to Salem’s followers. I thought about it, and have decided to express my thoughts on the matter.
Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking
Ruby, Cinder and Qrow, from my perspective, all share the theme of following the Scarecrow. I understand that it’s commonly assumed that Ruby is the Dorothy of the next generation, but hear me out.
The chief commonality these scarecrows have is their brains. In the original Wizard of Oz, the Scarecrow believed he had no brain, and sought the Wizard to give him one, only accepting a placebo to be satisfied. Likewise, Qrow is Ozpin’s chief spy, and Cinder acted as the planner for the Fall of Beacon. Ruby, in turn, is referred to as a��“dunce” by Weiss, proves herself to be a steady and decent tactician. All of them relied on Ozpin/Salem for their needs, but instead of trying to help them be their best, Oz/Salem treated them like pawns.
There is also a matter of succession. In Oz, The Scarecrow took over ruling the Emerald City after the Wizard left. Qrow is initially seen as taking over Ozpin’s duties after the Fall of Beacon, but this turns out to be false as it’s always Ozpin, now in Oscar’s body, that is in charge. Cinder was believed to be the leader of the villains, but in V4 it is shown that she is merely a subordinate to Salem, the true Big Bad. Ruby, on the other hand, genuinely takes over leadership when Ozpin goes AWOL in V6.
Perfect? Bang on my chest if you think I’m perfect
The Tin Woodsman and characters like him are characterized by their hearts, or lack thereof. Weiss, Ironwood, and Watts all have acted heartless at one point or another. Weiss was originally the “Mean girl” of the series’ high school setting, while Ironwood, despite his good intentions and friendly demeanor, repeatedly shows himself to only care for himself and willing to double-cross allies. Watts is from the moment he appears to where he ends, to be obnoxious and unfeeling, but as the series goes on we see more depth to his meanness. While Weiss develops empathy, Ironwood throws his heart away and Watts never bothers to pick his up.
But there also grandeur. In the sequel Oz books, the Tin Woodsman becomes ruler of a kingdom, but calls himself emperor because it sounds better. He even builds an army entirely of decorated officers, but only one soldier for the same reason. Chopper’s RWBY contemporaries also seek prestige, with Weiss wanting to excel in school, Ironwood desiring to be seen as a hero, and Watts motivated by Ironwood discrediting him. Weiss starts to see beyond herself, Ironwood and Watts continue to chase retribution for lost glory, and end up destroying themselves.
Look at the circles under my eyes, I haven’t slept in weeks
And we get to the Cowardly Lion. Some of these seem more obvious than others; Lionheart’s fear of Salem leads him to betraying the Ozluminati, while Blake’s character arc involves wrestling with her own fear of Adam. Tyrian is harder to figure than others, because he seems utterly fearless. But that two, may be a sign of lacking courage. It’s brief, but we see that there is something he truly fears, which leaves him quaking- Salem’s wrath. Time will tell just how “Cowardly” Tyrian is.
In the book, The Lion sees himself as a coward, but to help Dorothy and his other friends, he faces great dangers and develops true courage. Blake, meanwhile is able to overcome her fears, but not on her own. She does so with the love of her friends, largely Sun Wukong and Yang. Lionheart, regrettably, had no one to support him. Of all the headmasters seen, he was the only one without a deputy. His death comes about because he further isolated himself from the heroes, fleeing the battle to avoid capture, only to be killed by Salem herself.
If I go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t any further than my backyard
And now we come to Dorothy. Most of you will protest that Yang is the Scarecrow, but I don’t see that as so. What do Yang Xiao Long,Hazel Rainart, and Theodore have in common that makes them Dorothy?
Their familes.
Dorothy’s wish for the Wizard is to be returned to her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. Even when she returns to Oz in the sequels, she always goes back to them, and only stays in Oz when she is allowed to take them with her. Likewise, Yang is also driven to find her family; First, her missing mother, and then her little sister Ruby. Hazel’s motivations for hating Ozpin is the death of his own sister, who died a Beacon student. While we don’t know the full story, In RWBY Before the Dawn special mention is made of the picture in Theodore’s office which depicts a little girl, which CRWBY has noted to be important to him. More as the story develops Theodore.
But there is also a matter of exposure. Dorothy’s quest ends up exposing the Wizard to be a humbug. Yang’s endless questioning of Ozpin triggers the events that lead to Team RWBY finding the truth. Hazel, on the other hand, has to be shown the truth by Oscar, while Theodore is still clueless about the truth of the Secret War.
