 Baum wrote a new Oz book, "The Marvelous Land of Oz", with a view to making it into a stage production, which was titled "The Woggle-Bug", but Montgomery and Stone balked at appearing when the original was still running.The Scarecrow and Tin Woodman were then omitted from this adaptation, which was seen as a self-rip-off by critics and proved to be a major flop before it could reach Broadway.He also worked for years on a musical version of "Ozma of Oz", which eventually became "The Tik-Tok Man of Oz".
