BwD Venues

Join Dorothy and her friends for a fun-filled journey to the Emerald City, packed with laugh-out-loud comedy, colourful characters, audience participation and plenty of festive panto magic.

Dorothy is joined by the lovable Scarecrow, kind-hearted Tin Man and not-so-brave Cowardly Lion as they set off in search of the wonderful Wizard of Oz. But watch out – the Wicked Witch is never far behind, so get ready to boo, cheer and join in the fun!

A star-studded cast

West End star Katherine Picar leads the adventure as Dorothy, alongside X Factor and Celebrity Big Brother favourite Stevie Ritchie as the Tin Man and CBeebies’ Nigel Clarke as the Scarecrow.

Joining them are Bad Girls and Emmerdale star Nicole Faraday as the Wicked Witch, Gwynfryn West as the Cowardly Lion, panto favourite Luke Byeford as the Good Witch, and BGT comedy impressionist Tony Rudd as The Wizard.

Produced by Paul Holman Associates (PHA), The Wizard of Oz promises a spectacular Christmas treat for families of all ages – and proves there really is no place like King George’s Hall this Christmas!
