THE WIZARD OF OZ Pantomime Will Embark on UK Tour Beginning in April  Image

The magical, fun-filled family pantomime The Wizard of Oz will embark on a UK tour this Spring! This yellow brick road adventure opens at the Harlow Playhouse on 1st April before heading on a nineteen-date tour to Ely, Thurrock, Wellingborough, Kettering, Portsmouth, Camberley, Tunbridge Wells, Hastings, Stourport-on-Severn, Northwich, Radlett, Southport, Birmingham, Bridlington, Redhill, Lowestoft, Basildon and will close Albany Theatre, Coventry on Sunday 5th June 2022.

This spectacular, pantomimic, colourful story is packed with hilarious jokes, dazzling dance routines, glittering scenery and plenty more for all the family, plus at the end of the show you will have a chance to meet the larger-than-life characters!

With tickets on sale now, join Dorothy (Lucy Bell) as she embarks on an exciting adventure, over the rainbow, where along the way she makes new friends with the Scarecrow (Ben Parsley) who longs for a brain, the Tin Man (Terry Burns) who really wants a heart and the very cowardly Lion (Tom Booth) who is desperate to be brave and find some courage. Dorothy needs to find her way home, but it's not going to be easy with the Wicked Witch of the West (Katherine Hickmott) watching her every move! Will the fabulously beautiful and hilarious Glinda the Good (Rob Stevens) or the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz be able to help Dorothy and her newfound friends?

Directed by Daniel Bell, with further creatives to be announced, The Wizard of Oz is brand new production, based on the original tale by Frank L Baum has been lovingly adapted to family pantomime adventure.

Katherine Hickmott and Daniel Bell, of KD Theatre Productions said: 'We can't wait to bring the land of Oz to families across the country.
