Wizard of Oz

Between Thursday 11 July 2024 and Saturday 13 July 2024
‘The Wizard Of Oz’ is a much-loved story, perhaps best known through the 1939 film with Judy Garland. This new musical adaptation returns to the book by L. Frank Baum for its inspiration, but – as those who have read the book will know – there are far too many different episodes and adventures to include neatly into a short musical. As such, the essence of the story, its great heart, its wonderful sense of adventure, its innocence and its magic are very much the driving force in this new version. Cyclones, munchkins, witches and wizards, a yellow brick road and an emerald city: welcome to Oz, where anything can happen and a huge amount does, most of it involving a little girl called Dorothy, her dear dog Toto, her three unforgettable companions – the scarecrow, the tin woodman and the lion – and one very wicked witch.
