This was conceptualized and directed bu Todrick Hall, with PTX providing the a capella vocals. Todrick is amazingly creative and seriously under-rated. He was a contestant on a season of American Idol several years ago, and has since made a career as singer and choreographer, often with LTBTQ themes. Mitch, Scott and Kirstie collaborated with him on his song Black and White. That one is great too - check it out. On a separate note, this was a Kirstie tour de force. She was so good!
Funny fact, that dog's real name is Toto and it's toddricks dog. Toddrick is obsessed with the wizard of oz has an entire bedroom in his home fully devoted to and decorated like the movie or play 😁
Now you get to look forward to the other Toddrick Hall collab w/ the trio (Scott, Mitch, and Kirstin) 'Black and White'. It is an upbeat anthem of positive creativity.
It's sad how many (young -_-) reactors are asked to do this one and don't know The Wizard of Oz and don't have any idea what's going on. Always good when someone can actually appreciate it, even if it dates us.
I see myself as an educated person, but here in Germany The Wizard of Oz is almost unknown, the same with Wicked (Mitch & Scott doing Defying Gravity with Superfruit, I adore it!). I'm sad that I don't know the original for both themes, but I think it's possible to pay online for watching the Wizard of Oz movie and I will do it asap 👍🏻
YES! SO geeked you found this. PTX can do anything, and Todrick's a triple threat whose production values are always phenomenal, not to mention makeup and sets are total eye candy.
I'm so glad that you've actually seen _The Wizard of Oz._ I'm tired of reacters (reactors?) who see the Lollipop Guild and say, "Wait! Where did the Oompa Loompas come from?"
I understand that Todrick Hall also went to the same high school in Tyler TX that Scott, Kirsten and Mitch did but was a few years older. I wonder what is in the water there that brings out the talent in that town😂 Seriously, they are all exceptionally great singers! Thanks for your reaction, thoroughly enjoyed it.
It is a wonderful performance once again with Pentatonix alongside Todrick Hall. My favorite part is at the end of the song when they are singing “I’m On My Way Home” in the background the original cast from The Wizard of Oz is seen from different parts of the movie. They did Judy Garland and the rest of the cast justice.
We knew you were gonna love this one, Chris! They were so dang creative, and to think this video came out eight years ago! They also made a "Behind the Scenes" video for this song, and you will really enjoy watching it, too. No need to film your reaction, either. Just go watch it. Right now. Go on, then.
you know Kirsten is Dorothy, Glinda good witch, Elphba Wicked Witch of the west. She is amazing!!!! Scott, Mitch, Avi are the scarecrow, tin man, and Lion , background soldiers, Lollipop guild members, Kevin is Toto and a guard so the only stand ins are the Dorothy and scarecrow in one scene.
I believe Todrick went to same High School as the trio graduating a couple of years earlier. Kirstie needs calling out for playing all three female roles. The closing prelude to their "Home" release.
This was his project. He chose almost everything: songs, costumes, make-up, concept. He asked PTX to bring it to life. Amazing Collab! Fun Fact: Todrick is older, but attended the same highschool as the original trio, Scott, Mitch and Kirstin.
I see you are doing ok with the covid thing. Hope that just keeps getting better for you. 💖 There is so much more Pentatonix greatness out there waiting for you. I like the Perfume Medley, upbeat and great all around. Their original Love again is awesome. Cracked (an original) is one of my personal favs. Midnight in Tokyo is awesome, with great effects. Yeah, I think your down to their top 175 greatest hits to go!! Hang in there. Another great reaction!! 😁😁😎
Yes, Mitch got a heart, but Scott got his scroll for his intelligence certificate (brain) and Avi got a medallion around his neck for courage. The monkey on Todrick's shoulder represents the Wicked Witch of the West's monkey army and of course, Todrick as the Wizard of Emerald City. No one mentions the role that Kevin makes in this video, but even though we don't see much of him, he's keeping the beat going, along with Avi's bass. Also, not many have commented on the fact that above their heads, near the end, is a tribute to the original movie The Wizard of Oz with Judy Garland, but that was incredible IMO. Good reaction.
Thanks! This thing really comes in waves. Last night was incredibly bad. Right now, I have a little strength, so came on line. Thanks so much for your kind words!
Again, Pentatonix didn't put a lot of production into this, Todrick Hall did. He produced it all and Pentatonix jumped at collaborating with him on it.
I love love love this medley! Todrick is incredible! And PTX enhanced it, giving Kirstie time to really shine. This is a preemptive like and comment cos I know your gonna love it too 🏴❣️
From the date this posted on Todrick Hall's RUclips channel, this was made in 2013, which means Kirstie was 21 years old. At this point, she was still tending to defer to the men in the group, particularly Mitch, Scott, and Avi. I don't think she had realized just how talented *she* is. But for _The Wizard of Ahhhs_ *Kirstie* had to be the star, and she had to step out of her comfort zone to do it. The men were fully aware of how hard this was for her and were delighted to see her doing it. When you get the chance, re-watch that final scene, with the _Home_ medley, but this time concentrate on the men's faces. Scott and Mitch look like proud big brothers; Avi looks like a proud and loving and somewhat wistful best friend, and you hear all that in their voices as they sing to Kirstie. From this point forward Kirstie began to put forth her opinions, confident that they were just as good as those of the men, and that they would be respected appropriately. This is when Kirstie first stepped into her proper place in Pentatonix. This is when she started to become the confident and glorious woman she was always meant to be. And on top of all that, this is when we got to see Dorothy with a side smile.
RUclips has changed somewhat since I originally made that comment. *Now* if you click on the "...more" button you can see the exact date when a video was posted. Kirstie was just 2 months past her 21st birthday when Todrick posted this. We're definitely talking Babytonix here.
💕Kirstin! 💕 that note she holds at "blown away" 💕 Glad you had fun with it. Watch it a few more times. You'll find something new to see, or hear, each time. Todrick Hall is so creative. Got to give him his props.
I find myself revisiting this every few weeks - Todrick Hall is a genius! The song choices are brilliant and, of course, the talent is off the charts. Kirstin definitely shines, but they are all so amazing. Thanks for this fun reaction!
Weird experience, almost like a time machine. A pre Covid reaction.... Give it a week, buddy, and you be back to form, shipshape ! Great reaction btw, almost forgot to say :-))))
That special in the live though ?? Hard to tell you just how much I appreciated that. For real. Go take a nap now. Must be tired after that live I guess. TC m8
What a production! Full marks to Todrick and PTX. Great reaction from you too. Your sheer enjoyment warmed my heart and gave my day a great start. Thanks for posting.
Toddrick Hall graduated a year before Scott and Kirstie. Mitch was a year behind. So they all know each other. Martin High School seems to have a fantastic music program.
Hey Chris!! Soooo glad you reacted to this one. Wasn't it so much fun??!! The expression on your face the moment Dorothy (Kirstie) stopped singing "Over the Rainbow" and started "Blown Away" was priceless!! It's so clever how they intertwined present day songs with the plot of the movie. And Scott as Scarecrow, Mitch as Tinman and Avi as Cowardly Lion, Kevin as Toto, not to mention them as the farmhands, palace guards and lollipop munchkins...so ingenious!! Bet they had so much fun making this with Toddrick Hall. And I loved how they still paid homage to the original with scenes from the actual movie playing behind them. Been a long, l-o-n-g time since I was a kid too (sigh)...
I knew it- I knew it- I knew it... Your reaction just tickled me pink! I knew you would love this! I liked the part (most ppl miss) The film starts with Dorothy holding Toto, then Kevin becomes Toto after the tornado. too funny. I liked Todrick as the wizard. I'm really glad you got to do this one! Too much visual to discuss here... A huge thumbs-up on your reaction👍👍👍👍👍 😍
We wouldn't steer you wrong, Chris! This is amazing and I love it even more every time I watch it or watch someone react to it. Did you notice the Wizard of Oz playing behind them on the curtain at the end? Scott, Mitch and Kirstie did another collab with Todrick called "Black and White" It's awesome too! You should definitely check it out.💚 I hope you're feeling better.
Omg! I adore all things Todrick Hall. We always see him live when he’s in town. He’s creativity is unmatched. Toddy did a show that was a whole new Wizard of Ahhhs. This is just a taste.
This amazing video was the idea of and developed by Todrick Hall. He invited PTX to be the cast and they were thrilled to accept. And the result, as you noted, was just stupendously good!
Larry you once asked how Pentatonix gets their songs arranged. Other than working with Ben Bram, Pentatonix does a lot of their own arrangements. I recommend watching Pentatonix random singing and jamming on the fly. Well I think that's what it's called 😂
I keep waiting for your reaction to Pentatonix Bohemian Rhapsody! I've even got my daughter and grandkids watching your reactions because you remind us so much of my late husband :) My daughter said oh mom he's adorable! Just like dad! lol
I loved how much fun you had with this. I loved it as well and I watch it periodically because it’s really done well. I liked how they selected the right songs as the story progresses.
Wow, thanks Karen! Took a major turn for the worse last night, but the good news is that my doctor said I'd live. Bad news, he's a chronic liar! lol, Just kidding (not about the getting worse). Feeling better right now. Comes in waves. Thanks so much for your kind words!
You could probably have put this up without any tricks at all to avoid copyright problems; it isn't published by Pentatonix's usual label. This one is on Todrick Hall's RUclips channel, and he seems to be more interested in the publicity than in royalties.
For those unsure what some of the songs used in the medley were: Judy Garland - Somewhere Over the Rainbow Carrie Underwood - Blown Away Katy Perry - Wide Awake The Chordettes - Lollipop Kelly - Shoes 20 Fingers / Gillette - Short Short Man Anna Kendrick - Cups Frank Ocean - Thinking About You Danity Kane - Damaged Miley Cyrus - Can’t Be Tamed Taylor Swift - I Knew You Were Trouble Kanye West - Power Lady Gaga - Teeth Mötley Crüe - Home Sweet Home Daughtry - Home Phillip Phillips - Home Michael Bublé - Home
Great that you are feeling better! You probably have tons of PTX suggestions but here are some more: Gold, Mad world, New rules & Are you that somebody, Attention, Shallow, 90s dance medley (any medley...), Dreams. Originals; Sing, Run to you, Be my eyes.
No particular song off the album, but checkout White Pony by Deftones. It’s only a 12 song album and it’s probably their best album to date. I first discovered them because they made songs used in the movies of one of my favorite anime.
You could probably have put this one up with no tricks at all to confuse the copyright gods; it wasn't published by Pentatonix or their record label (the record label seems to be the people who make copyright objections). This was a Todrick Hall production, posted on his RUclips channel, and Todrick seems to care more about the publicity. "I like your beard." There's no way you can convince me Todrick put that line in for the Wicked Witch of the West Side; that was pure Kirstie, talking to her friend Avi. Note the startled look on his face when she says it.
Just to give credit where it's due, this is not a PTX production, but Todrick's. He's produced plays and been on tour with them. The majority of his videos are associated with Disney and/or fantasy. Try his other videos like the original LOW....NOT the Rupaul one he redid with him, but the original Low video. It is another Wizard of Oz inspired video. Other videos: Cinderyonce, Django Tango (it's a spin on the Broadway & Play of CHICAGO), Grown Woman ( He loves Beyonce, of whom he got to work with after doing a creative BEYONCE 4 video medley of her greatest earlier hits...please watch that too.) He's done a whole visual movie of his stage production of Straight out of Oz...and etc. He is another rabbit hole to go down. Please watch PTX's LOVE AGAIN original song. This is a perfect example of Mitch and Kevin shinning. Mitch is a breast with his falsetto and higher notes here. And Kevin drops an 808 bass drop that makes you feel like you're in the club and about ready to go hard on the dance beat. I lost my mind and started dancing when I first heard it. I was standing outside, waiting for the bus. Lol
Best wishes from Germany, I love your enthusiasm when you react. Can you please take a look at the song "Federkleid" by the german band "Faun", they don't do acapella, but they are still captivating.
Chris (and everyone else too for that matter), pretty obvious you've seen the Wizard of Oz (It'd be hard to find someone in our generation who hasn't). Go check out "The Wizard of Ahhs vs. The Wizard of Oz (Full Version)" that someone created 8 years ago. It's clips from original "The Wizard of Oz" scenes set in time to "The Wizard of Ahhhs". Fair warning: it might make you tear up a little. Note the misspelling of "Ahhs" in the title. Why don't I just paste a link? I'm old school. I don't believe in pasting links into comments. Just say no to spam!
Am I the only one who can’t see this? I understand the copyright issues and “opacity,” but I can only make out a few shadows. I hope you’re feeling better, btw.
i dont know if you'll ever see this, but i recommend watching Eminem- Darkness. Its a story type of song, I HEAVILY encourage seeing it and giving your own opinion on the topic after!
Darkness was done on January 14th, but sadly it was blocked due to copywrite. I have disputed it. The artist's management has 30 days to affirm the block or it goes live in 30 days. Hang tight and add some crossed fingers for me!
@@larryshair I have seen a lot of darkness reactions on youtube so im surprised yours got copyright blocked! but im hoping for the best hopefully it gets removed
People may have already mentioned this to you, but what I have seen work for other reactors is to make sure the fair-use clause is in your description of the video and to make the video of them smaller than normal, make ur headphones icon a little bigger and put in center. These are all things you may have tried separately but maybe it's this combination that is the key? Worth a shot 😊
All you have to do is pause the video for commentary at least once every 30 seconds. This is extremely well-known amongst political gamer RUclipsrs, who used to constantly get copyright complaints from CNN and the like.
You should do a reaction to 'When I grow up' from NF, don't want so spoil too much, but it's about him growing up trying to be a rapper. On top of that, it's also a real banger.

He was also on the Masked Singer and came really close to winning!
Todrick is my jam! Can’t wait to see his new show in March.
Todrick has appeared on Broadway. He also worked on RuPaul's Drag Race.
Funny fact, that dog's real name is Toto and it's toddricks dog. Toddrick is obsessed with the wizard of oz has an entire bedroom in his home fully devoted to and decorated like the movie or play 😁
Nice little back-story gem!!!
Now you get to look forward to the other Toddrick Hall collab w/ the trio (Scott, Mitch, and Kirstin) 'Black and White'. It is an upbeat anthem of positive creativity.
The whole thing is brilliant. They are all great, as usual, but I think Kirstin really shines in this one.
Something you tend to forget about is all the sounds and music is still them doing it accapella
Right?
The amount of creativity that Todrick Hall had for this by doing a mashup of popular music to fit the theme of the story is just incredible.
It's sad how many (young -_-) reactors are asked to do this one and don't know The Wizard of Oz and don't have any idea what's going on. Always good when someone can actually appreciate it, even if it dates us.
I see myself as an educated person, but here in Germany The Wizard of Oz is almost unknown, the same with Wicked (Mitch & Scott doing Defying Gravity with Superfruit, I adore it!). I'm sad that I don't know the original for both themes, but I think it's possible to pay online for watching the Wizard of Oz movie and I will do it asap 👍🏻
Your obvious enjoyment was exactly what I felt the first time I watched and have felt every time since. It is just fun!
got another fun one for you Superfruit Mitch, Scott, and Kirstin doing Frozen
This is a Todrick Hall project, so the PTX issue shouldn't be as bad
The levels of sheer talent and creativity are insane!
This one is so much fun. Especially if you are familiar with the Wizzard of Oz movie. I really like the songs they used to tell the story.
YES! SO geeked you found this. PTX can do anything, and Todrick's a triple threat whose production values are always phenomenal, not to mention makeup and sets are total eye candy.
Right???!
song selection here was genius! mix in the costumes, production value, and Pentatonix voices and WOW!
I'm so glad that you've actually seen _The Wizard of Oz._ I'm tired of reacters (reactors?) who see the Lollipop Guild and say, "Wait! Where did the Oompa Loompas come from?"
Toddrick Hall is a gifted creative and entertainer. Check out his visual album Straight Outta Oz, you won't be disappointed!
One of my favorite albums!
I love this one. The way they blend the songs together is very creative.
I understand that Todrick Hall also went to the same high school in Tyler TX that Scott, Kirsten and Mitch did but was a few years older. I wonder what is in the water there that brings out the talent in that town😂
Seriously, they are all exceptionally great singers! Thanks for your reaction, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Your joy was contagious!! Thanks! They are so darn talented!

@@larryshair They do that a lot :). Glad you liked it!
I loved your reaction....I felt the same way....ptx never ceases to amaze me...the best I believe......great review....
This was written by Todrick Hall. It is his production. He asked PTX to bring vocals.
You are a lovely man with a great smile and joyous personality. Thanks for sharing that with us! 💕🐝💕🇺🇸
Thanks for the comments!

I believe Todrick went to same High School as the trio graduating a couple of years earlier.
Kirstie needs calling out for playing all three female roles.
The closing prelude to their "Home" release.
Todrick Hall has his act together and was a big part of the creativity on this.
This was his project. He chose almost everything: songs, costumes, make-up, concept. He asked PTX to bring it to life. Amazing Collab!
Fun Fact: Todrick is older, but attended the same highschool as the original trio, Scott, Mitch and Kirstin.

Thanks RW! Yea, the Covid took a sharp turn for the worse after that last vid, but I'm back at the keyboard! Thanks so much!
@@larryshair Hang in there and get well.
Yes, Mitch got a heart, but Scott got his scroll for his intelligence certificate (brain) and Avi got a medallion around his neck for courage. The monkey on Todrick's shoulder represents the Wicked Witch of the West's monkey army and of course, Todrick as the Wizard of Emerald City. No one mentions the role that Kevin makes in this video, but even though we don't see much of him, he's keeping the beat going, along with Avi's bass. Also, not many have commented on the fact that above their heads, near the end, is a tribute to the original movie The Wizard of Oz with Judy Garland, but that was incredible IMO. Good reaction.
So enjoyed your reaction. Made me wish they would do a full Broadway production...so much talent.
I'm so glad you are feeling better! Amazing that even from your sick bed you were still smiling!

When you listen to this again turn on the subtitles and think of the lyrics as their lines. The lyrics are the story
What a production! Full marks to Todrick and PTX. Great reaction from you too. Your sheer enjoyment warmed my heart and gave my day a great start. Thanks for posting.
Also of note, Todrick Hall went to the same high school as Scott, Mitch and Kirstie. He was a few years ahead.
So glad you caught Kirstie's aside to Avi ("I like your beard"). Many reactors completely miss that, and it's hilarious.
Hope you and any others in your family are feeling better. Get well soon. Thanks for making reactions when you started feeling ill.
Toddrick Hall graduated a year before Scott and Kirstie. Mitch was a year behind. So they all know each other. Martin High School seems to have a fantastic music program.

Pentatonix and Todrick Hall or a match made in heaven.! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Todrick Hall is a famous music artist who in this music video works with Pentatonix as the Wizard of Oz
This kind of mashup belongs on Broadway
Todrick was second place in the fall 2021 Masked Singer, barely beat out by Jewel.
Omg! I adore all things Todrick Hall. We always see him live when he’s in town. He’s creativity is unmatched. Toddy did a show that was a whole new Wizard of Ahhhs. This is just a taste.
I have not seen this on, so I will go watch it on their channel. Can't wait to see it, a great reaction. Just watched it, it was great!
This deserves a standing ovation
Hey!!!! DO THIS ONE!!!! LOL! That was sooooooooo fun!!!!

Glad to see you back! Can’t wait for the Em videos!!
I loved how much fun you had with this. I loved it as well and I watch it periodically because it’s really done well. I liked how they selected the right songs as the story progresses.

No particular song off the album, but checkout White Pony by Deftones. It’s only a 12 song album and it’s probably their best album to date. I first discovered them because they made songs used in the movies of one of my favorite anime.
Check out Toddrick with. MItch ,Kirstie and Scott in The “Black and white “ video It’s great and ur kids would probably like it as well.
You could probably have put this one up with no tricks at all to confuse the copyright gods; it wasn't published by Pentatonix or their record label (the record label seems to be the people who make copyright objections). This was a Todrick Hall production, posted on his RUclips channel, and Todrick seems to care more about the publicity.
"I like your beard." There's no way you can convince me Todrick put that line in for the Wicked Witch of the West Side; that was pure Kirstie, talking to her friend Avi. Note the startled look on his face when she says it.
Not just well done, downright outstanding! I grinned through the whole darn thing!
They have that effect!
You should watch the "making of" video for this. It's good too.
Hi. Hope you are feeling better. Isn’t this fun. They are so creative
You should check out some of their evolution of music videos! The music through the years and Michael Jackson are two of my favs!!
Glad to see you back! Do Joyner Lucas - I'm Not Racist, it's a very powerful music! :)
Just to give credit where it's due, this is not a PTX production, but Todrick's. He's produced plays and been on tour with them. The majority of his videos are associated with Disney and/or fantasy.
Try his other videos like the original LOW....NOT the Rupaul one he redid with him, but the original Low video. It is another Wizard of Oz inspired video.
Other videos: Cinderyonce, Django Tango (it's a spin on the Broadway & Play of CHICAGO), Grown Woman ( He loves Beyonce, of whom he got to work with after doing a creative BEYONCE 4 video medley of her greatest earlier hits...please watch that too.) He's done a whole visual movie of his stage production of Straight out of Oz...and etc. He is another rabbit hole to go down.
Please watch PTX's LOVE AGAIN original song. This is a perfect example of Mitch and Kevin shinning. Mitch is a breast with his falsetto and higher notes here. And Kevin drops an 808 bass drop that makes you feel like you're in the club and about ready to go hard on the dance beat. I lost my mind and started dancing when I first heard it. I was standing outside, waiting for the bus. Lol
Best wishes from Germany, I love your enthusiasm when you react.
Can you please take a look at the song "Federkleid" by the german band "Faun",
they don't do acapella, but they are still captivating.
I knew you'd like it ☺️
Chris (and everyone else too for that matter), pretty obvious you've seen the Wizard of Oz (It'd be hard to find someone in our generation who hasn't).
Go check out "The Wizard of Ahhs vs. The Wizard of Oz (Full Version)" that someone created 8 years ago. It's clips from original "The Wizard of Oz" scenes set in time to "The Wizard of Ahhhs". Fair warning: it might make you tear up a little.
Note the misspelling of "Ahhs" in the title. Why don't I just paste a link? I'm old school. I don't believe in pasting links into comments. Just say no to spam!
You should check out "dance with the devil" by immortal technique
Am I the only one who can’t see this? I understand the copyright issues and “opacity,” but I can only make out a few shadows. I hope you’re feeling better, btw.
Yes, I know it was a bit opaque but was in attempt to avoid the blocks. So sorry.
listen to Geoff Castelluci, I would love to see your reaction on his song.
I recommend you to listen to Misty Mountain or Blackbird.
i dont know if you'll ever see this, but i recommend watching Eminem- Darkness. Its a story type of song, I HEAVILY encourage seeing it and giving your own opinion on the topic after!
Darkness was done on January 14th, but sadly it was blocked due to copywrite. I have disputed it. The artist's management has 30 days to affirm the block or it goes live in 30 days. Hang tight and add some crossed fingers for me!
@@larryshair I have seen a lot of darkness reactions on youtube so im surprised yours got copyright blocked! but im hoping for the best hopefully it gets removed
People may have already mentioned this to you, but what I have seen work for other reactors is to make sure the fair-use clause is in your description of the video and to make the video of them smaller than normal, make ur headphones icon a little bigger and put in center. These are all things you may have tried separately but maybe it's this combination that is the key? Worth a shot 😊
All you have to do is pause the video for commentary at least once every 30 seconds. This is extremely well-known amongst political gamer RUclipsrs, who used to constantly get copyright complaints from CNN and the like.
I recommend taking a look at tiny angel by 360
You should react to NF- Intro III from his perception album. It tells a really good story of his battle with himself.
You should do a reaction to 'When I grow up' from NF, don't want so spoil too much, but it's about him growing up trying to be a rapper. On top of that, it's also a real banger.
