The Wizard Of Oz Tickets

In Spring 2011 the stage will be set for the return of the classic story “The Wizard of Oz”,. It is set to appear at the London Palladium with a brand new Dorothy plucked from millions of hopefuls from the BBC television series “Over the Rainbow”. It is certain to be a spectacular production and one that provides musical theatre fans with an abundance of spectacular sights and sound that will remain with them forever. But then, it is a production of “The Wizard of Oz” and even without the excitement of the television talent show, this world famous story is just as popular as it ever was.

The West End already has a show that takes audiences to the world inhabited by the Munchkins and Wicked Witch of the West with the production of “Wicked” continuing to attract thousands of punters. It shows that the Land of Oz is just as appealing as ever and when “The Wizard of Oz” arrives it will demonstrate this further.

As such, it will make a star of the new Dorothy and launch the career of a new theatre star, just as shows like “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?”, “I’d Do Anything” and “Any Dream Will Do” did previously for the likes of Jodie Prenger. But that’s not all; the television series also provides audiences with a new Toto so that the perfect dynamic is created between the female performer and the canine companion.

Both Dorothy and Toto go on an epic journey together in “The Wizard of Oz”, with their Kansas home uprooted by a fierce tornado and transported to the magical Land of Oz. It is in this new location that the pair find themselves in considerable trouble at the hands of the Wicked Witch of the West, who plots her revenge for the accidental death of her sister. But Dorothy wants to find a way back to Kansas and by following the Yellow Brick Road she hopes to get to Emerald City, where the Wizard of Oz can help her home. On her journey she also happens upon a Scarecrow who needs of a brain, a Tin Man who needs of a heart and a Lion who needs courage and together they have an experience of a lifetime.

The story was originally set to paper in L Frank Baum’s 1900 novel “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”, which was immortalised in 1939’s movie adaptation “The Wizard of Oz” with Judy Garland in a career-defining role. It has since stood the test of time and remains a favourite with film fans around the world.

The Wizard of Oz begins its run at the London Palladium on Tuesday 29th March 2011.
