Family Easter pantomime in which Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion journey through the Land of Oz.
The Wizard of Oz is coming to The Theatre Royal as an Easter pantomime, running from 1st April to 11th April 2027. It's a family show, so it's one of those things you can take the kids to over the spring break.
The story is the one we all know: Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion journeying through the Land of Oz in search of courage, heart, brains and a way home. It's a pantomime, so expect it to be played for laughs rather than a straight retelling. The production is built around the big, bright elements of the genre — dazzling costumes, spectacular scenery, laugh-out-loud comedy and toe-tapping songs. It's the kind of show that leans into the spectacle, so the costumes and sets will be a good part of the draw.
