Over TheRainbowLet’s face it, rainbows are not just the domain of little girls and gays. Throughout history the rainbow has been a legendary symbol of life, prosperity and death.
Of course the most well-known rainbow myth hails from Ireland where clever and mischievous Leprechauns guard the pot o’ gold at the end of the arc, but that is only the beginning.
Many cultures believed Rainbows were a bridge between this world and the next. They have been called a Pathway of Souls, the Bifrost bridge to Asgard or the path to the upperworld, among others.
For Noah a rainbow was a sign of peace, their absence for 40 years was a harbinger of the end of the world for Medieval Germans, they represented a child-eating demon in Burma, and a vexed Devil in Honduras and Nicaragua! What does a rainbow mean to you?
Double double toil and trouble. The Three Witches from Macbeth are prophetic and downright creepy.
She murders and tortures with glee, but even the vile Bellatrix Lestrange is looking for love. Desperate to please Lord Voldemort this witch from Harry Potter holds nothing sacred. Dobby was too far!
The Greeksknow how to take a story to the extreme. Medea is possibly the scariest witch we’ve ever encountered. Cold-blooded and vengeful, she’d kill her own children to destroy her enemies.
THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST IS ONLY ONE OF MANY CHILLING LADIES IN LITERATURE. WE’VE COMBED THROUGH THE BOOKS FOR SOME OF THE SCARIEST WITCHES TO EVER HAUNT YOUR NIGHTMARES AND RATED THEIR FRIGHT FACTORS: 5 BROOMS= TERRIFYING
Wicked Witches
The White Witch of Narnia. She lures Edmund into her trap with poisoned sweets and sweet words but she cannot be trusted. She is truly bad to the bone!

Its latest incarnation, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s creation, will take to the stage at the Ed Mirvish Theatre this December. Before we get there, we wanted to follow the long and winding road that takes us from L. Frank Baum’s canon to the present — and a little beyond! We’re de� nitely not in Kansas anymore.

There’s Something
About DarynCANADIAN COMEDIAN EXTRAORDINAIRE, Daryn Jones is the completely charming and adorable host of CBC-TV’s Over The Rainbow. While he may steal a scene or two, it’s his job to lead you through the difficult process of picking the right Dorothy for the stage production.
When it comes to his own opinion about what makes the perfect Dorothy, he’s very tight-lipped: “That’s not for me to say,” said Jones. “I don’t want to influence the vote. I’m everybody’s pal up there. But I imagine singing is a plus, she should know how to do some dancing, she’s gotta know how to wear that blue dress, she can’t be allergic to dogs, or if she has some Reactine or whatever, that would probably help.”
Jones is no stranger to live television. For the last six years he’s hosted MTV Live, a live comedy TV show. He’s written for The Rick Mercer Report, performs as astand-up comedian and was the host of Buzzed.
Does he have any advice for thewould-be Dorothys? Not really. “MaybeI can give some advice on how to handlean angry heckler,” he joked. “Whoever wins this competition, it’s not over. Then the real job begins; she’s got to be Dorothy and she’s got paying customerswho expect a great show.”
TOTOlly Adorable!L. FRANK BAUM DOESN’T SPECIFY TOTO’S pedigree, he just describes him as a little black dog. He’s been played by a variety of breeds.Terry, a Cairn terrier, played Toto in the 1939 film. Hundreds of dogs of all species auditioned to play Toto for the CBC-TV show Over The Rainbow. You’ll see the top 10 auditionees every Monday evening.
In The Wizard Of Oz stage production at the Ed Mirvish Theatre, three delightful Norfolk terriers will portray Dorothy’s canine companion. Toronto, meet Toto, or rather Totos — nine-year-old Tilley and six-year-olds Neddy and Winny.
This may be their first time at the Ed Mirvish Theatre, but it isn’t their first time treading the boards or strolling down the yellow brick road. Tilley, the veteran, has played Toto three times in as many years. Neddy and Winny are learning from their big sister and are excited to take the stage this December.
The three sibling pups got involved in theatre by chance. In their hometown of London, Ontario, Tilley’s stage presence was noticed while she was in agility class. Her owner, Terry Shevchenko, took her to an audition to play Toto at the Grand Theatre.
“Tilley blew me away how she took to the stage,” said Shevchenko. “After that, she was asked to take on other plays and Neddy and Winny were always the understudies.”
Don’t miss them at the Ed Mirvish Theatre beginning December 20. (The dogs are l to r: Winny, Tilley and Neddy)
