Following the yellow brick road to theatre

The group presents The Wizard of Oz from Wednesday, February 10, to Saturday, February 13.

The family panto tells the story of Dorothy and her adventures in the Land of Oz. But of course there are a few twists and turns on the way. You will see all the familiar characters – Tin-man, Scarecrow, Lion, Glinda, the Wicked Witches and the Wizard – and a few new creations have been thrown in for good measure.

The sound track includes Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Ease on Down the Road, I Put a Spell on You and Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now.

Evening performances start at 7.30pm and a matinee performance on the show’s final day starts at 2pm. The doors open 45 minutes before each show. Tickets are £8 for adults and £6 for concessions, children and OAPs. Tickets for Saturday evening are £8. To book visit www.irchesterplayers.co.uk/boxoffice or call 01933 800374. They can also be bought at Looking Good Hair Salon.
