The Singer Midgets were a troupe of performers who portrayed the Munchkins in MGM's 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz. They were organized by Leo Singer (1877–1951), a Viennese showman.
The troupe was European in origin, and played in circuses and carnivals there; Singer trained his troupe as singers and dancers, wrestlers and acrobats. Many members of the troupe were Bavarian; a number of the little people who appeared in the 1939 film did not speak English. (The confusions and misunderstandings that resulted have been exaggerated in subsequent folklore into sometimes wild stories.)
