Family pantomime in which Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion travel through the Land of Oz in search of courage, heart, brains and a way home.
The Wizard of Oz comes to The Albany Theatre on Friday 4 June 2027, as a family pantomime. It's a matinee, starting at 2:00pm and running for one hour and fifty minutes, so it's a good one for a school holiday afternoon when you've got the kids in tow.
It's the story you know: Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion trekking through the Land of Oz in search of courage, heart, brains and a way home. The production is staged as a panto, which means it's not just for sitting back and watching. The makers describe it as packed with dazzling costumes, spectacular scenery, laugh-out-loud comedy, toe-tapping songs and plenty of audience participation. You're expected to cheer the heroes, boo the Wicked Witch and sing along, so it's the kind of show where the crowd is as much a part of it as the cast on stage. It's suitable for all ages, and there are family tickets for groups of three or four if you're bringing the whole lot.
