Andrew Lloyd Webber Confirms Search For WIZARD OF OZ Cast

The BBC have confirmed that the next talent search programme led by Andrew Lloyd-Webber will be based around The Wizard Of Oz, seeking a girl to play Dorothy and a dog to play Toto.

The new show, also called The Wizard Of Oz, will be presented by Graham Norton, who also presented How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?, which cast Connie Fisher as Maria, Any Dream Will Do?, which cast Lee Mead as Joseph, and I'd Do Anything, which cast Jodie Prenger as Nancy in Oliver!

John Barrowman told BWW:UK earlier this week that he too would be involved in the judging panel.

The show will begin auditions in early 2010 and will air later in the year.
