The Mow Cop Players bring The Wizard of Oz to the stage as a pantomime with songs, colourful characters and audience participation.
The Mow Cop Players are bringing The Wizard of Oz to the Mitchell Arts Centre in Newcastle-under-Lyme, with shows running from Thursday 29 October to Sunday 1 November. It's a pantomime version of the story, so it's not a straight retelling — it's built for a crowd that wants to get involved rather than just sit and watch.
The plot will be familiar: Dorothy and Toto follow the yellow brick road through the Land of Oz, picking up the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion along the way, all on their journey to meet the wonderful Wizard. The Mow Cop Players describe it as packed with laughs, songs, colourful characters and plenty of audience participation, so expect the kind of show where the crowd is part of the action rather than just watching from the stalls.
