Along the way she meets a Scarecrow, a Tin man and a Cowardly Lion who help her on her journey. But will she be defeated by the Wicked Witch of the West? You’ll have to come along to find out.
This highly acclaimed adaptation from The Royal Shakespeare Company is produced by the award-winning Selladoor Family, leading producer of mid and large-scale family productions including The Quite Remarkable Adventures of the Owl and the Pussycat, James and the Giant Peach, Guess How Much I Love You and The Broons.
A stunning musical featuring the timeless and instantly recognisable classics We’re Off To See The Wizard, Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead!, The Merry Old Land Of Oz and Over The Rainbow, prepare for a magical adventure for the whole family with live music, lavish sets, spectacular costumes and a sensational cast to be announced.
A representative from the Blackpool Opera House said:
‘The Wizard of Oz is such a universally loved show that we really couldn’t think of a more perfect title for our second Christmas outing from Selladoor. We can’t wait to get to work on the project and replicate the same success of 2017 Selladoor shows such as Flashdance and of course Peter Pan. We’re confident that the incredible RSC version of this iconic musical will bring joy to all of Blackpool as its a show that everyone from Grandparents to Grandchildren will embrace’
