I was so lucky to find this. Here is the version of Toyland we are doing in PCYO. It starts with the March of the Toys and then goes into Mother Goose singing the song, Toyland which then segues into the orchestra playing, Toyland as the story begins: Babes in Toyland is an operetta composed by Victor Herbert with a libretto by Glen MacDonough (1870–1924), which wove together various characters from Mother Goose nursery rhymes into a Christmas-themed musical extravaganza. The creators wanted to cash in on the extraordinary success of the stage musical The Wizard of Oz, which was produced in New York beginning in January 1903. The most famous instrumental piece from the operetta, March of the Toys, occasionally show up on Christmas compilations. The original production opened at the Chicago Grand Opera house in June 1903 and ran for 192 performances. It was so popular that it spawned other fairy-tale shows over the next decade. Wikipedia In my last post I said it reminded me of, Wizard of Oz and now I know why. Both were done by the same arrangers! These were sister musicals! You can watch the whole movie if you like..
