Back in May 2010, there was an Oz reunion of sorts when several cast members assembled in NYC to do a charity stage reading of the play "The Godfather, Part IV." The play was written by Tom Fontana, with the proceeds benefiting the Writers Guild of America.

I hope you get/got a kick out of it! I remember reading about some of the play's "catchphrases," but it's entirely different to see them put into their proper context.

OH, hey, it's two months later, but I'm replying to this! I'm so glad this brought back good memories for you. Transcribing it was a labor of love, and I'm pleased there are people who appreciated it. :-)

AND, unrelated, a big thanks for your book recommendations for The Plague Times trilogy. I read the first two books these summer and really enjoyed them. Like you, I think I liked the second one better, mainly because I could pretend it was an AU with Toby and Chris on the run after escaping from Oz. :D
