Dorothy loves her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry but she spends most of har days daydreaming of a place where she and her little dog Toto can escape Kansas and live a life free from the troubles, trials and tibulations of the farm.

What Dorothy hadn’t planned for though was a tempestuous tornado whisking her away to a strange and magical land with no way of getting back home. Not only that, but her crash-landing arrivsl into Oz angers the vile and vicous villain, the Wicked Witch of the West!

This adventure follows Dorothy who, with the help of the Good Witch Glinda, e spirited scarecrow, a tender tinman, and a loveable lion, follows the yellow brick road to try and find a way home. Encountering both friends and foes during her quest through the colourful kingdom, watch as Dorothy and her charismatic companions journey to the Emerald City.

Leading the way in her sparkling ruby slippers, will Dorothy have the brains, heart, and courage to find the wonderful wizard, save Oz from the Wicked Witch, and safely get back home to Kansas?

This dazzling production promises to be a feast for the senses and a treat for all the famlly. The Wizard of Oz will be an unforgettable panto extravaganza making it an unmissable experience this festive season.
