The fun of a classic panto can be enjoyed this summer for just £5 – oh yes it can.

Victoria Hall is staging the classic favourite The Wizard of Oz, featuring some well-known faces - and tickets can be snapped up for just £5 - but be quick.

Follow the theatre down the Yellow Brick Road this summer, as they follow Dorothy’s adventure in The Wizard of Oz.

Young Dorothy and her dog, Toto, are swept away by a tornado from her Kansas farm to the magical Land of Oz. There, she encounters a host of characters: good witches, bad witches, scarecrows that walk, Tin Men that talk and lions that cry (a lot).

To find her way home, she must embark on a journey along the Yellow Brick Road to see the mysterious and all-powerful Wizard in Emerald City.

To gain his help, Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion must obey the Wizard’s command and bring back the Wicked Witch of the West’s broomstick or else their wishes will not be fulfilled.

Do you have the brains, the courage and the heart and join us in the wonderful land of Oz this Summer?

Carl Marsden, on behalf of the production team, said: "We’re absolutely thrilled to be bringing professional, affordable, family entertainment during the summer holidays.
