We’re off to see the Wizard at Wolverhampton Grand
Follow the yellow brick road to Wolverhampton Grand Theatre as Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion all take to the stage in family favourite, The Wizard of Oz.
West Bromwich Operatic Society is staging the performance at the Grand until Saturday – after the show opening last night. (tues)
It’s aptly timed as the performance comes just weeks after the classic film version celebrated its 80th Anniversary.
The Operatic Society also celebrated its 80th anniversary last year with a successful run of West Side Story.
In brand new costumes made especially for the production by Leo’s Theatrical Costumiers, the cast are ready to delight audience members of all ages with the well-known show.
Playing Dorothy is Jessica Harrison, Alex Woolliscroft is Scarecrow, Elliott Mann is Tin Man and Andy Foggin plays Lion.
They are joined by Emma Wetherall as Glinda and Sarah Moors as the Wicked Witch of the West. Tim Jones will play The Wizard and the cast is completed by a talented local ensemble.
Join Dorothy Gale and her faithful dog, Toto as they are whisked over the rainbow to the magical land of Oz.
In her quest to find her way back home Dorothy encounters a host of enchanting characters, and finds new friends, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion.
They follow the Yellow Brick Road, mercilessly pursued by the Wicked Witch of the West, to the magical Emerald City in search of the mysterious and almighty, Wizard of Oz.
