As the story unfolds, it's easy to see that Dorothy isn't taking this quite as seriously as the others!

Singing out in the hall ... Bob minus his Tin Man's hat and Tom minus his lion's mane.

Tom Wilkie in full lion's regalia.

Jack and Tom

Up close and personal with Jack Lyon as the Scarecrow.

"I Feel Pretty."  Oops, wrong musical. Larry Hassler as the beautiful Dorothy.


Sweet Adelines International Convention

In October 2001, Sweet Adelines International held their annual convention in Portland and the Most Happy Fellows appeared on their Showcase. Here are some photos of that performance, taken by Jon B. Peterson Photography.


Bob "blows his stack" to the consternation of Larry.

Larry has just about had it with Tom's tail getting in the way...

Telling the tale.

"We're off to see the Wizard!"


Extreme Makeover...The Haps Style
Sitting in the audience, it's hard to truly appreciate the incredible makeup jobs necessary to turn "plain ol' Jack, Tom, Bob and Larry" into the Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Tin Man and Dorothy. While Larry assists Tom in doing his face, the others take on the job themselves (after some earlier training by Larry!). And we're not talking a quick 10-minute effort; it takes Larry 90 minutes to put on the Cowardly Lion's elaborate makeup. See the detailed work for yourself with these photographs.
